Description
In contemporary times, agriculture represents a major portion of the world’s food production. However, current techniques for dealing with pest infections are outdated in a major way. They are characterized for both being reactive, having to wait until the crop shows signs of illness, and heavily rely on massive pesticide treatments that contaminate drinking water and the food itself. H-ARGUS is a revolutionary network of 360-degree near-infrared cameras able to directly detect insects in-field. This allows the monitoring of its population, thus preventing pest infections before any damage can be done.
