Challenge
Traditional pest control methods often involve the widespread use of pesticides, harming beneficial insects and the environment.
Solution
Smart Pest Control minimizes pesticide use by targeting treatments only where needed. This approach can reduce pesticide application by lowering environmental impact the risk of pesticide resistance.
Challenge
Delayed pest detection can lead to significant crop damage.
Solution
IoT-based pest traps and monitoring systems provide early detection, allowing farmers to respond promptly to emerging pest threats. This can prevent potential crop loss.
Challenge
Conventional pest control methods often result in overuse of pesticides, harming non-target species and the ecosystem.
Solution
Precision application through drones and smart sprayers targets specific areas affected by pests, reducing pesticide drift and minimizing harm to beneficial insects.
Challenge
Pest control decisions are often based on routine schedules and visual inspection.
Solution
Automatic data collection from pest traps and sensors and analysis facilitates the process of documenting pest outbreaks and helps to develop heat maps for farmers to take precautions.
Challenge
Unsustainable pest control practices can harm the environment and lead to long-term ecological damage.
Solution
Smart Pest Control promotes sustainable agriculture by minimizing pesticide use, protecting beneficial insects, and reducing environmental contamination. In addition, reduced damage to plants leads to lower water requirements for irrigation as healthy plants can better withstand periods of water scarcity. IoT devices and connectivity can save nearly 230 billion cubic meters of water, with 35% thanks to smart water grid operations, and remaining water savings will be supplemented by IoT-enabled agricultural applications like crop management and remote pest control.
