Aphids are a major problem in UK and global food production, reducing yields by directly feeding on plants phloem-sap but also through transmitting a variety of diseases. In 2018-19, over 106t of pesticide was applied to an area of 1,815,090 hectares to control aphids, often applied pre-emptively to protect crops. By combining recent advances in volatile compound detection and insect olfaction bioscience, we hope to develop a sensor that can proactively monitor fields for aphid infestation, allowing for a more targeted application of pesticide, resulting in a significant decrease in application to UK farms.

蚜虫是英国和全球粮食生产中的一个主要问题，通过直接取食植物韧皮部汁液以及通过传播各种疾病来降低产量。在2018-19年度，在1，815，090公顷的土地上使用了超过106吨农药来控制蚜虫，通常是为了保护作物而先发制人。通过结合挥发性化合物检测和昆虫嗅觉生物科学的最新进展，我们希望开发一种传感器，可以主动监测田地的蚜虫侵扰，从而更有针对性地施用农药，从而大幅减少英国农场的施用量。
