IoT monitors for agricultural insect pests, delivering a 70% reduction in insecticide use

Spotta开发检测、识别和监测害虫的专门系统。全球每年因害虫造成的农作物损失高达3200亿英镑。在这个项目中，我们将通过昆虫种群的早期检测和实时信息，应用我们的技术来提高农业生产力。这有可能大大减少害虫对粮食生产造成的损害，并使杀虫剂的使用大幅减少。这将大大提高生产力，同时也大大减少因过度使用杀虫剂而对环境造成的负面影响。

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.
