Benefits
Reducing crop losses
The Scarab® Precision system enables efficient and timely monitoring, with analysis, maps, trends, and summary data presenting a clear problem-solving basis. This facilitates confident decision-making and early interventions for pest and disease control, thereby significantly reducing crop losses.
Reducing the Cost of Pesticides and Biological Control
Scarab® Precision monitors the spatial distribution of pests and diseases in greenhouses or in the field, enabling effective control with precision spraying and targeted release of natural enemies, drastically reducing expenditures on chemicals and biological control agents.
Faster establishment of biological control
The time it takes to establish biological control is generally too long and leads to unnecessary losses. Better spatial targeting of releases can reduce this time considerably.
Reduced time between monitoring and control actions.
Collecting data electronically and swiftly synchronising it with our server enables rapid analysis and reporting. This reduces the time between monitoring and control actions, resulting in a more accurate match between the control action and the actual pest and disease scenario.
Targeted pest and disease control
Scarab's spatial analysis identifies specific control requirements within greenhouses or fields, allowing targeted spraying and releases of natural enemies only in the areas needed. This precise approach reduces the volume of sprays, which improves plant vigour, quality and productivity and reduces the cost of biological control.
Evaluation of the interventions
Evaluating the effectiveness of control measures ensures that lessons are learned quickly, avoids the costs of unsuccessful efforts and detects irregularities early.
Quality scouting management
Scarab® Precision’s monitoring technology is time efficient and has incorporated quality control systems. The system offers accurate monitoring of scouts, where they are and the speed and quality of their work.
Compliance with market requirements
Reduced pesticide use, along with improved detailed record keeping assists you in complying with safety requirements, justification for control actions taken and traceability.
