PestTrap, Eye In Your Field: A Device that will make your life easier & Safeguard your crops

Published on 08 June 2023

Why would you physically control the pest population on your land in this period when you can do all the work over the phone?

Doing this process is much simpler than you think. Let's take a closer look at PestTrap!

 

PestTrap consists of a good-resolution camera,sticky trap, and a chemical pheromone. In addition, there are sensors on it that measure air temperature and humidity. These components primarily allow you to control the pest population at any time of the day without going to the field. However, this is just one of the features of PestTrap.

The camera, the sticky trap, the pheromones, and the sensors, are all long-existing technologies. Smart agriculture is not just having these products on your land and observing your land instantly. Smartening starts exactly after this data is taken from your land. The processed and presented numerical data from your land through images also helps determine your future management decisions.

Our recommendations for your plant protection decisions

The first sighting dates of the pests are recorded, and spraying and population cycle projections are provided. These are processed and shown as recommendations for your plant protection decisions. While determining these decisions, real-time meteorological data obtained from the sensors on the device are used as well. These studies are provided by strong and dynamic data scientists, meteorologists, and entomologists working at Doktar. Using the relationship between meteorological factors and the development of insects predicts the dates when insects will appear.


So PestTrap recommends suitable dates for your spraying!

How does this smart device work?

PestTrap scans photos, tags each type of pest, and counts the number of pest types for each photo. When the risk of harm increases, it sends you a notification. The notifications are crucial in decision

management for pests. It is explained that humans can make 

decisions, consciously or unconsciously, like algorithms. The difference between humans and software is that while software can load all the knowledge and experience available, even the most advanced human beings have limited information to process when 

making decisions. Algorithms can reach the most accurate decision by 

processing many scenarios in seconds.

In addition, another difference between software, smart machines, and algorithms is that they do not have emotions. Emotions, instincts, suspicions, and prejudices gained through bad experiences can sometimes lead us to success in our communication with people, but these should be set aside when it comes to farming since what we are dealing with in agriculture are biological entities.

 

The development and growth of plants and changes in pest populations depend on scientifically determined situations. When we look very closely at them, sometimes we may not see what caused them, but algorithms that consider all components can predict this with high success using the data they obtained without any difficulty.

 

Come and take a look at our products! Don't wait for someone else to come for innovations, don't be afraid to be a pioneer. Save money on land visitations over spraying and pest control using outdated traditional methods.
