iSCOUT® is an insect trap with integrated electronics (camera system, modem, power source with solar panel) and sticky plate. It can be hung wherever in the field it is needed, due to its low weight. In the field, the device is self-sufficient, as it is powered by a solar panel and a battery. A 10 MP camera takes high-resolution pictures of the sticky plate within the iSCOUT® trap. Images are sent via LTE to the FieldClimate platform where they are analyzed with AI (artificial intelligence) software. The results are then visible on web or mobile devices. As a result, we see the photo with rectangles around the target insect, as well as summarized data of the daily count, targets in total and development of insect population during the season. Control is real-time and the collected data can be used for further analysis.
The Planticus disease detection system consists of small wearable camera devices that are placed inside the greenhouse or in open fields to detect diseases in tomato crops. These devices gather images and process them using an AI algorithm, providing feedback to the farmer through an online dashboard. By using existing workers and vehicles and equipping them with small camera devices, a continuous monitoring system is established that can give an early warning in case of anomalies.
Dacom offer a range of grower products which are based on information about the weather and soil moisture. They supply weather stations and equipment to monitor soil moisture. They also provide a disease management service with advice on which products to apply. This is based on a range of disease models.The advice calculates the infection rate for several diseases and can be used everywhere in the world where weather data from a weather station is available. This can be a weather station from Dacom but it also can be a station from a third party like Adcon, Metos (Pessl), Davis, Sencrop, CIMEL, Corhize or Leap. For the advice the models use the weather data, the weather forecast, growth observations and performed crop protection actions.
SporSenz is an in-the-field sensor for plant diseases in soil and water. The device is inserted into the soil and samples the dominant microorganisms that are actively growing in the soil, facilitating a soil-health screen. SporSenZ only detects living and actively growing microorganisms in the field. The company also offer screening for hydroponic systems, and for water irrigation.
The company also offer disease identification from the plant material and can test the susceptibility of pathogens sampled from fields against crop protection products.
DroplegUL is an under-leaf application technique that enables plant protection products to be applied within the crop. Upward, horizontal and top down spray applications are possible. It is a light device and can be easily mounted on most boom sprayers. It is intended to provide more uniform coverage and better spray deposition on the lower canopy or lower side of leaves. It may also reduce spray drift compared with conventional application techniques.
TRAPVIEW is an automated pest monitoring system that can be used to monitor remotely any kind of insect that can be lured into an insect trap. It works on all continents in any area covered by the GPRS or 3G network. Cameras powered by solar cells send pictures from the traps to a central database where they can be viewed, processed and are securely archived. The pests that are recognized are marked automatically and there are a range of tools to manage the information. It is a solution that efficiently powers your plant protection decision-making process. It can provide you with real-time and crystal clear situation overview, it can also forecast future pest situation and simulate different plant protection measure scenarios.
