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.
Scan Bean is an agro-climatic model simulating the Sclerotinia risk level to bean crops to decide when make fungicide applications to each crop. The DSS operates throughout the crop cycle and calculates the risk of petal contamination on a daily basis based on the climatology and agronomic data of the plot. It has been developed in collaboration with Unilet since 2009.
Using a mobile application and a range of connected agro-weather sensors, Weenat offers farmers reliable and easy to use solutions to monitor in real time the weather and agronomic conditions of their fields from sowing to harvesting. Weenat sensors are compatible with more than 20 reference DADs (decision support tools) on the market. The compatible tools include Scan Bean which is a diagnostic tool created by Syngenta to reason interventions against bean sclerotinia based on agroclimatic modelling and Semiloni which is intended to position phytosanitary treatments at the times when they are most necessary and most effective.
This company sells in-field weather stations. There is the option to buy pest and disease forecasting packages for particular crops. Each package uses field-tested and validated algorithms along with the grower’s data to forecast the potential for the appearance of pests and pathogens. There is a package for tomato: Item 3095TOP - SpecConnect Tomato Alert Package; Leaf wetness and temperature sensors are required; Tomcast and insect models are included.
The Greenpatrol robot can operate autonomously, without human intervention, in a greenhouse to detect several pests. The robot has the ability to autonomously generate and follow routes in the greenhouse, avoiding humans and obstacles placed in the way. The robot is trained on the main pest and diseases of tomato and pepper and is being tested in greenhouses in northern Spain. A user interface is designed and built so farmers can access an online application to see the robot’s status and a map of healthy and infected zones with recommended actions.
The number of available active substances and the maximal authorized residue (MRL) level for vegetables are constantly decreasing. Increasing multiresistance to insecticides also makes chemical control of aphids more and more complicated. By replacing aphicide application, VerdaProtect helps to solve all these emerging problems by controlling all common aphids in vegetables. And it comes in ready-to-use units, which are much easier to apply than any chemical treatment.
Farmapp has developed an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) software-based service for crops. The software includes a combination of scouting and fumigation apps with sensors and brings automation (IOT) devices to the agriculture sector. There is a scouting app - a mobile app on iOS and Android to monitor the crop; there are opportunities to automate your greenhouse using insights from pests and diseases; and a spray diary – to understand where and how the agro-chemicals are applied.
Agrobase is an app for farmers and agronomists. It includes an agronomic information database with a catalogue of pest insects, weeds and diseases, and all the registered fungicides, insecticides, herbicides in a chosen country. It also provides information about crop protection product registration and expiry dates, and most importantly – efficacy against different pests.
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
