Disease prediction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Because the climate is changing, farmers must use fewer fungicides etc. due to economic or legal reasons. But some diseases are difficult to control and the exact timing of fungicide application is very important to keep diseases under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this, in agriculture 4.0, different prediction models for plant diseases are developed that help the producer to comply with legislation and to have a healthy crop. These prevention models are based on research work by scientists and universities, measured with very precise sensors. Currently more than 85 disease models have been developed for more than 40 different crops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The use of these disease models can help prevent them since alarms of their possible presence are generated. Thus achieving a more efficient application of fungicides or other inputs, reducing the use of spray and achieving higher yields and better crop quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is it important to use disease models?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
