移动应用程序帮助农民瞄准作物投入

 英国一款新的移动应用程序使用卫星技术帮助农民定位他们田地中孤立的害虫问题。

该应用程序名为 seeCrop,由 Intelligent Precision Farming 创建。它在欧洲卫星导航竞赛的英国分部击败了 72 个其他解决方案,该竞赛专为那些最有能力利用卫星技术解决问题的人而设计。在与疾病、昆虫或杂草作斗争时,农民通常会处理整株作物,即使害虫可能只侵扰一部分田地。那会浪费时间和金钱。

seeCrop 让农民能够识别、隔离并仅处理有问题的区域。

“Feedback from farmers has identified a need for this product and the ESNC funding and business support means we can accelerate the delivery of “seeCrop” allowing farmers to realize the benefits sooner,” said Max Dafforn of Intelligent Precision Farming. “In the future, aggregated data from app users could show regional variations in disease and pest pressures as they develop — information which is not currently available in the UK.”
