Rantizo

Based in Iowa City, Rantizo, Inc. is developing an integrated drone-based platform for the identification of in-field anomalies and targeted aerial application of agricultural chemicals via its electrostatic spray technology. Rantizo's revolutionary spray techniques will reduce labor and capital expenditures, increase crop yields and diminish environmental damage from chemical overapplication, spray drift, crop destruction and soil compaction. Rantizo was awarded a $100,000 loan from the Demonstration Fund for product development and evaluation, field trials, product refinement, market planning, key personnel, equipment, initial production costs and regulatory advancement.
