Spotta develops specialised systems for detecting, identifying, and monitoring insect pests. Insect pests are responsible for an annual crop loss worth £320 billion globally. In this project we will apply our technology to improve agricultural productivity with aid of early detection and real time information on insect populations. This has a potential to dramatically reduce the damage done by insect pests to food produced and enable a massive reduction in insecticide use. This will deliver substantial increases in productivity while also massively reducing the negative environmental impact due to excessive insecticide use.

Spotta开发用于检测、识别和监测害虫的专业系统。害虫每年导致全球农作物损失3200亿英镑。在这个项目中，我们将应用我们的技术，通过早期检测和昆虫种群的真实的时间信息来提高农业生产力。这有可能大大减少虫害对粮食生产的损害，并大规模减少杀虫剂的使用。这将大大提高生产力，同时也大大减少由于过度使用杀虫剂而造成的负面环境影响。
