Radicle Growth Invests $250K In WeedOUT

San Diego-based Radicle Growth, a startup investor which invests in innovative agtech and food tech startups, says it has awarded $250,000 to WeedOUT, an Israeli startup focused on the resistance of weeds to existing chemical herbicides. According to Radicle Growth, it made the investment in WeedOUT as part of the Radicle Challenge Israel, a competition to identify the most promising agtech and foodtech startups in Israel. The company says WeedOUT is working on a bioherbicide, which artifically pollinates weeds in order to induce seed abortion and prevent germination.
