Automatic analysis of crop spraying
Automatic analysis of crop spraying
Plant protection products are important: they keep pests away and contribute to a healthy fruit without defects. Yet spraying artificial agents is an expensive practice, which is also sensitive among consumers. Therefore, all parties limit the use of plant protection products as much as possible.
Fruit and vegetable growers are therefore constantly looking for a more effective spraying method. Traditionally, growers test spray quality with a cumbersome and inaccurate analysis, based on water-sensitive paper suspended between crops.
