Abstract

With SMAPP LAB we are building smart trap networks to monitor pest insects and help farmers to protect against them effectively. Pests destroy up to 40 percent of global crop production which means almost $300 billion of losses. Due to the climate change the insect life cycle is also changing and their damage is less predictable. Therefore these losses will get even higher. Without real-time data and monitoring the farmers are not able to protect their crops from pests. We combined AI and the traditional pheromone traps to collect data from the field automatically and give decision support for farmers to optimize their pesticide use and win the fight against insects. Our goal is to make plant protection more precise, reduce pesticides and make agriculture more sustainable.
