Fast and accurate signaling of pests is crucial to the successful IPM strategy. PATS automates scouting by using camera vision, enabling high-frequency (hourly) monitoring. The PATS-C solution enables growers to detect pests up to one generation earlier and to act swiftly to prevent the further spreading of offspring. Moth and caterpillar pests can be detected up to 5 weeks earlier when using PATS-C vision technology. This enables growers a more successful execution of the integrated pest management strategy, while saving on labour, crop protection and crop losses.
