Braingrid's Data Intelligence Program Increases Cannabis Yields, Reduces Costs

Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - August 20, 2019) - Braingrid Limited (CSE: BGRD) ("Braingrid" or the "Company") a global provider of cultivation analytics using its affordable, scalable and easy-to-deploy sensor platforms for precision agriculture, announced that results in a peer-reviewed journal at an Ontario cannabis production facility shows optimizing fertigation can increase yields by up to 110%⁽¹⁾.

Fertigation⁽²⁾ is the injection of fertilizers for water, soil and other products used in an irrigation system.

Braingrid's recently launched Data Intelligence Program collects cultivation data from cannabis growers and producers of other agricultural products to alter and optimize growth conditions including, but not limited to, the use of fertigation. The result is improved product consistency and significant savings.

With payback in as little as a producer's third harvest, increased yield and cost savings could amount to as much as $150,000 over 8 growth cycles for growers adopting Braingrid's technology in a 20,000 square foot facility⁽³⁾.

"Research shows that many cannabis producers appear to have little peer-reviewed data on optimal fertigation rates. Given that optimal fertigation is the foundation for optimal yield, there's a gap in knowledge where Braingrid's solutions provide significant insight into fertigation performance," said Michael Kadonoff, CEO of Braingrid. "With our Data Intelligence Program, growers are provided with the knowledge they need to adapt their growing conditions before a problem arises, saving not only the significant costs associated with crop failure, but also optimizing yields and revenue growth."
