Multispectral crop pathology sensors: BASFRecent Research Landscape

Herbicide drift and improper timing lead to crop loss and wasted chemical inputs. These systems quantify plant damage and coverage to calibrate precise application windows.

What technical problems is BASF addressing in Multispectral crop pathology sensors?

Undetected early stage crop pathology

(36)evidences

Manual or visual inspection of crop damage and coverage is subjective and prone to human error. Standardizing the quantification of physiological stress and biomass distribution allows for precise agricultural interventions.

Inaccurate spatial resource allocation

(19)evidences

Sub-optimal application of agricultural products due to imprecise boundary definitions and threshold values. Correcting these inaccuracies prevents resource waste and localized crop under-treatment.

Suboptimal agricultural treatment timing

(15)evidences

Suboptimal scheduling of agricultural interventions leads to reduced efficacy and resource waste. Precise timing based on genetic and environmental variables prevents crop loss and minimizes chemical over-application.
