UK Agtech - 53706 RootDetect - Remote Detection and Precision Management of Root Health
FY 2020-21 · 2020-11-02
Summary
UK AgTech Project 53706 RootDetect led by Airborne Robotics Limited (UK), will result in the development of a semi-autonomous remote sensing system that will efficiently scout large areas and identify clubroot symptoms earlier than the grower or agronomist. Affected areas in the field will then be mapped and linked to precision farming technology which will allow targeted treatment of infested patches. This will be cost effective for the grower and will minimise wastage and thus lower carbon emissions.

Description (French)
Le projet 53706 RootDetect en Agrotech au Royaume-Uni, dirigé par Airborne Robotics Limited (R.-U.), aboutira à la mise au point d'un système de télédétection semi-autonome qui permettra de repérer efficacement de vastes superficies et de détecter les symptômes de la hernie plus tôt que le cultivateur ou l'agronome. Les zones touchées sur le terrain seront ensuite cartographiées et reliées à une technologie d'agriculture de précision qui permettra de traiter de manière ciblée les zones infestées. Cette méthode sera rentable pour le cultivateur et réduira au minimum le gaspillage et donc les émissions de carbone.
