Pest and Disease Alert
It is a proactive tool that integrates pest and disease models with real-time weather data to alert about outbreak risks. It enables farmers to take preventive action, reducing yield losses and treatment costs.
It is a proactive risk management tool designed to protect crop yields by integrating scientific models of pest and disease life cycles with real-time weather data. The system sends timely alerts to farmers when local weather conditions pose a high risk of outbreaks, enabling them to take preventive action before significant damage occurs. By tracking key variables such as temperature, humidity, and rainfall, the application predicts the emergence and development of critical threats, transforming pest control from a reactive task into a data-driven, proactive strategy that reduces yield losses and treatment costs.Es una herramienta proactiva de gestión de riesgos diseñada para proteger el rendimiento de los cultivos mediante la integración de modelos científicos del ciclo de vida de plagas y enfermedades con datos meteorológicos en tiempo real. El sistema envía alertas oportunas a los agricultores cuando las condiciones meteorológicas locales suponen un alto riesgo de brotes, lo que les permite tomar medidas preventivas antes de que se produzcan daños significativos. Mediante el seguimiento de variables clave como la temperatura, la humedad y las precipitaciones, la aplicación predice la aparición y el desarrollo de amenazas críticas, transformando el control de plagas de una tarea reactiva a una estrategia proactiva basada en datos que reduce la pérdida de rendimiento y minimiza los costes de tratamiento.

Sector:
Drastically reduces pesticide use: By alerting farmers to outbreak risks, it enables precise, targeted actions instead of routine large-scale spraying, minimizing the total amount of chemicals used.
Protects biodiversity: Reduced pesticide use means less harm to beneficial insects (such as bees), birds, and vital soil organisms, helping preserve farm ecosystem health.
Prevents water contamination: Using fewer chemicals significantly lowers the risk of pesticide runoff into rivers, lakes, and groundwater, protecting aquatic life.
Reduces the carbon footprint: Lowers energy consumption and emissions associated with the manufacturing and transport of pesticides.
