This hand blower is very suitable for blowing predatory mites (montdorensis/swirskii/cucumeris), but can also be used for other insects. It has a range of four metres. Biospreader is mainly used for quick manual application of biocontrol agents, particularly mites, a local correction or when the greenhouse is not suitable for an automated system for the dispersion of predatory mites and feed mites. With the Biospreader, the user remains responsible for even distribution. This handheld blower comes with two batteries and a quick charger. It is sold directly by Agrobio but is also available from Royal Brinkman.
This app provides fast and direct entry of scouting-data witha smartphone or tablet; real-time overview of your greenhouse at any time; structured view of the scouting data via pc or web; visualisation of pest pressure and population build-up of beneficials; extensive data-analysis; direct contact with a Biobest advisor for personalised IPM advice.
Additional feature named trapscanner (uses phone camera) can be used to count pest on yellow sticky traps automatically.
Margaret (previously named Thales) is an artificial intelligence platform 100% oriented to the entire agri-food value chain. At the farm level, Margaret allows the farmer to integrate multiple IoT devices from the same or different vendors into one solution, after data standarization. By combining IoT devices, information from the farm operations and AI, growers can easily identify the pest or disease and therefore can get the list of authorized plant protection product suggestions without any classification or product recommendation from a specific crop protection company. This is among many other capabilities, such as harvest prediction or the integration of different market information sources.
CampoGest is a mobile APP with a wide range of functionalities that can be configured according to the agronomist needs. One of these functionalities is the scouting and recommendations, which allows a fluid communication between advisors and farmers related to the identification of pests and diseases and the use of the most efficient treatment solution. By using CampoGest, the agronomist can select the product and indicate the application rate to the field technician. However, CampoGest includes a much broader range of features for the day to day farm business.
The IPM Scope combines a digital camera, precision optics and LED lighting into a powerful handheld microscope and imaging software package. Users can zoom in on fine details of plant disease symptoms, or insects. Users can place the IPM Scope over a leaf and view the magnified image on their computer screen. Pests and diseases can reduce plant quality and yield, and pesticides add significant input costs. Protect your plants by submitting environmental conditions to disease and insect models. These models forecast disease and insect pressure using field-tested and validated algorithms. SpecWare™ disease alerts can assist pesticide application timing, facilitate an IPM approach, and improve plant health
Natutec Drone combines more than 50 years’ experience in the production of biologicals, with extensive R&D knowledge and experience in the field, to produce a high-tech dispersal mechanism that transports vulnerable beneficial organisms to disperse them accurately where they are needed. The Natutec Drone will initially be available in the U.S. where it has been tested. More countries are likely to follow once the necessary adaptations for local conditions have been carried out and tested.
Natutec Scout is a platform to quickly and easily provide insight into the status of a greenhouse. Growers can use the mobile app to collect data and perform extensive analyses using the dashboard. This allows them to see at any moment what is happening in the greenhouse and intervene when necessary, resulting in healthy crops. Growers can use graphs to view how pests and diseases respond to biological control so that they can intervene where necessary. For this, they can compare different periods or areas in the greenhouse. They can also use heatmaps to identify infestation hotspots for quick intervention.
EffiSpray is a tool that calculates, depending on weather conditions (air temperature, air humidity, wind speed etc.) the ideal day and hour for spraying, making predictions for the next five days. Usage of EffiSpray predictions contributes to the increased efficiency in the application of plant protection products and to a reduction in the number of spraying applications required per growing season. Through EffiSpray’s interactive map it is easy to find the area of interest and, by clicking on it, you can view the spraying calendar with the timeslots that are optimal for spraying operations for the following 5 days.
Efficient and effective ultra-low volume sprayer with minimum drift. Compatible with most conventional chemicals and fungicides.
Get accurate data and analytics everywhere in the field! Its robot arm gives us the freedom to attach and provide a wide range of sensors. Precise movement using neural networks for organic cultivation control and other ground measurements are possible. It has 16 degrees of freedom, 12 for moving the system (3 feet) and 4 for the arm. By solving the inverse kinematic equations and equilibrium control we achieved dynamic walking. Neural networks are embedded within the system's Linux computer (so as not to waste data) where it can detect through the camera. CYTA Gaia has the same operation as Aeir, sends the measurements to the electrode, from there they upload via sim to our server where they post them with easy-to-understand graphs in the app.
