IPM knowledge

Integrated pest management research has revealed many new ways to manage orchard pests that save farmers money and have minimal impact on the environment. The video below is an introduction to one such technology - smart sprayers. These sprayers use ultra-sound emitters and receivers to detect trees. A computer stops and starts the spray, so no product is wasted spraying empty air. Find more videos about IPM in orchard crops in the video library.
