Description

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:

  • Gentle (avoiding damage to the macrobials)
  • Precise (allowing for highly accurate precision application
  • Efficient (enabling for an even and completely automated delivery)
  • Versatile (proving ability to use many types of formulations)
  • Flexible (lightweight easily movable device)

Cost Detail

The total cost depends on several factors, such as:
- You can achieve a higher level of biological protection – avoid need for spraying of insecticides (up to 100%)
- Achieve more with less macrobials (potential material saving of more than 60%)
- Spend less time on treatments (potential time saving up to 80%)

Example Cases/Additional information

Jellemzően a ragadozó atkák egy része a meglévő mechanikus szórási rendszer (például a levélfúvó típusú rendszerek) által okozott véletlenszerű elpusztítás vagy károsítás miatt veszik el. A minőségcsökkenés akár 50%-os teljesítménycsökkenést is elérhet. Az EcoDis megoldással nem tapasztaljuk a ragadozó atkák pusztulását, így a hasznos atkák teljes hatása várható!
