xarvio™ SCOUTING is developed for agronomists and farmers to automatically identify problems in their crops. Users can just take a picture and instantly receive a result. SCOUTING supports more than 50 crops globally and helps growers to document in-field stress easily. xarvio SCOUTING supports six different activities from seeding to harvest: Weed Identification, Disease Recognition, Nitrogen Status, Yellow Trap Analysis, Leaf Damage Emergence Analysis.
GreenPatrol is a European precision farming project aimed at developing a robotic solution for Integrated Pest Management in greenhouses. The robot can operate autonomously to detect several pests. It can generate and follow routes, avoiding obstacles. The robot is trained on the main pest and diseases of tomato and pepper and is being tested in northern Spain. Growers can access an online application to see the robot’s status and a map of healthy and infected zones, with recommended actions.The robot can identity where pests are located and treat them in a second phase. The robot has the ability to spray the plant with pesticide.
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.
The Pessl Instruments models have been developed to provide the best information possible and allow you to make a conscious decision and use the best tools to produce more, both in terms of quantity and quality. The majority of them are a result of international scientific cooperation with research institutes and universities over the last 30 years. Having been used by farmers for several years in different climates and environments, they have proven their efficiency over time. Pessl Instruments has more than 80 disease models for more than 35 crops, which can be accessed directly through the FieldClimate.com platform. To offer full support of plant protection management we offer high precision, localized weather forecast, calibrated on the basis of on-site data, in collaboration with the Swiss partner Meteoblue. A forecast of all major meteorological variables and other agronomic information, plant protection window, is available on an hourly basis for 7 days, along with real-time data when you access the service on FieldClimate.com.
Sticky traps baited with these lures consistently caught more (2× to 12×) flies than unbaited sticky traps. The lure appeared to remain effective over time in the field with only a decrease in potency after 39 days. Results indicated that both male and female seed corn maggot adults were caught on cards with a 4:1 to 2:1 male sex ratio bias on baited and unbaited cards, respectively. This lure may prove efficacious in assisting growers with IPM trapping and sampling procedures for purposes such as determining fly-free periods for planting crops such as beans, and pre-harvest insecticide application needs for crops such as onion.
The device transmits infrared, invisible light across flying insects and automatically detects the back reflected light of each individual insect. This allows it to accurately measure the wing beat frequency, colour and wing to body ratio of insects flying through the sensor’s monitoring volume. The technique can scout for many insect species at once providing real-time insights into in-field insect populations and activity. Species-specific insect activity data combined with time, geo-location and environmental data are an input to digital farming solutions and the aim is to offer data integration between in-field sensors and farming software platforms. There are no products on the market yet.
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.
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.
