Realizing digital crop protection with sensor asistance

Variable application of growth regulators and fungicides

agricon Plant Production

Enhance safety and security in...

decision making:

  • transparent, agronomically tested control functions
  • digital and fully automated documentation of all plant protection measures
  • daily updated overview of all applied funds and quantities

application:

  • work orders for drivers with all specific sensor settings via digital transmission to the terminal
    (optionally also on paper)
  • continuous and error-free adaptation of pesticides to current crop development
  • automatic consideration of minimum dosages and compliance with legal maximum quantities

the public eye:

  • use of the currently highest level of technology in crop protection - corresponding proofs are thus
    digitally available at all times
  • image improvement by means of innovative sensor technology
  • digitization as a socially oriented solution to the problem with so-called "pesticides"
