The EcoDis solution can be used for dispensing and distributing living organisms, such as different life-stages of beneficial insects and mites.
With the help of the EcoDis System mounted onto a tractor it is possible for the grower to cover large areas evenly - even without the need to hire a trained drone operator.
The device ensures that the distribution of the macrobials is performed in an optimum way:
CropMonitor Pro provides field-level predictions on growth stage development, pest & disease risk and optimal spray timing using a dedicated weather data feed, advanced risk models and local pest and disease surveillance data. Decision support outputs summarise combined pest and disease risks to crops, indicate the potential need for treatment at key growth stages, and guide optimal treatment timing. Risk prediction and decision support services from CropMonitor Pro include forecasts for all pests and diseases which are important in terms of spray decisions from crop emergence onwards in wheat, oilseed rape and potatoes. Further crop modules and services are in development and will be launched in due course.
Nematool is Bayer's comprehensive solution for monitoring and treatment of nematodes in greenhouse and outdoor crops. With Nematool growers get real-time soil temperature information for better nematode management. The nematool will allow growers to monitor the generation of nematodes in their crop, with warnings of the first clutches of the next generation. Growers will also be able to control the quality of the solarisation processes in their greenhouse. In addition, they will be able to have access at any time to the history of soil temperatures at 20cm with the possibility of downloading detailed reports on the web.
This company develops autonomous mobile robots for indoor and outdoor use. One model can be adpated for spraying crops. It is used remotely, semi-automatically or autonomously.
Drone for Agro, tailor-made agricultural drones for spraying and fertilizing crops. This is a start-up company in the Netherlands working on drones for agriculture for different applications, such as spraying, fertilizing, sowing, etc.. The company makes drones for a 5 to 100 litre payload. Will work with biological control options like bacterial mixes, nematodes, etc. Drone4Agro offer 4 basic types of drones with spans from 3 to 9 metres. Each is delivered with a standard battery pack and charger, ex service and maintenance. The battery charges 80% in ca 25 min. Range extender optional, but not included.
This is a snap-on drop-leg sprayer designed for spraying low-dense crops up under the leaves. It has easily adjusted nozzle angles.
System for in-canopy spray applications. Many diseases and insects originate from the base of the plant and work their way into the canopy. Traditional application methods target the top of the plant and the product often doesn't make it down to the target leaves. 360 UNDERCOVER makes in-canopy application possible - in corn, seed corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, sugar beets, sorghum and more.
The Wingssprayer is an innovative system that ensures optimum dispersal of every spray fluid. The Wingssprayer's spraying units can be fitted to virtually any spraying equipment, both new and existing. The Wings provide shelter from hard wind and prevent spray drift. The Wings come into contact with the crop, opening it up so that the spraying fluid can penetrate beneath the crop. Fine droplets ensure optimum coverage. Tank capacity would depend on tractor brands.
Buntata is an Android application that has been designed to help users identify plant pests and diseases with no a-priori knowledge. Buntata provides a visual key for the identification of diseases by displaying example images of symptoms. A user visually selects the part of the plant that is affected and Buntata displays images of recorded symptoms. Picking the image that most closely resembles the symptoms shows detailed information about possible causes, background information, diagnostics and control methods to help deal with the cause. Diseases can exhibit similar symptoms. Buntata displays diseases with similar symptoms together allowing easy comparison to help users identify the correct one.
The VideometerLab Instrument is an instrument for multispectral image acquisition. It is used for reflectance imaging and optionally fluorescence and transmittance imaging. Together with the VideometerLab software, it is used for both exploratory analysis, for calibration model construction and for routine quality control in a wide range of application areas. The Videometer technology provides accuracy, robustness and highly reproducible measurements.
