The Problem

Transplanting is Breaking Farms

A shrinking labor pool, back-breaking work, and equipment built for industrial scale — not the small and mid-size farms that feed local communities. Farmers are being forced to scale back, not because demand isn't there, but because the help isn't.

RootCycle is changing that with a compact, intelligent system built for real-world farming conditions.

"Planting days are the most significant work days."

— Sam, Farmer

"It is a STRUGGLE to keep up with planting."

— Stonehedge Farm Produce

"Can't keep up with transplanting to stay competitive."

— Kelcey, Farmer

"The leaning over is the most agonizing part. We need that to go away."

— TopCrops Farm

Our Technology

Five Steps. Zero Hands.

From seed to soil, our patent-pending system handles every step of the transplanting cycle — autonomously, precisely, at scale.

Germinate in Bio-Pulp Trays

Seeds germinate in RootCycle Bio-Pulp Trays filled with AgroAlloy-conditioned soil. The clay mineral additive binds the plug for clean, damage-free extraction.

Load the Planter Module

Finished trays load into the Pulp Planter Module magazine. That's the last human step — the system handles everything from here.

ZAP Drills the Holes

The operator stands behind the unit, guiding navigation with a joystick. The bed, the row, and the working module are all visible right in front of them — eyes forward, everything in view.

Extract and Place

Extraction pins eject each plug cleanly from the tray. The guided placement tube delivers it directly into the drilled hole — root integrity preserved.

Full Bed, Unattended

The ZAP advances row by row until the bed is complete. Consistent depth and spacing across every single plant, every time.

Built for the Field

Every feature designed with real farmers in mind — not a boardroom.

Standing OperationGuide the unit from a standing position with a joystick. The module and the bed ahead are both right in front of you — no looking back, no guessing.

Precision PlantingCustomizable spacing and depth — one bed, any crop, any size.

All Soil TypesTilled, no-till, sandy or clay-heavy — handles it all.

Compact FootprintBuilt for farms, hoop houses, and tight field conditions.

100% ElectricFully rechargeable — no fuel, no fumes, no carbon footprint.

Modular PlatformThe ZAP accepts multiple modules — one machine, many farm tasks.
