Insect Monitoring Using Artificial Intelligence

Insect monitoring in vegetable production is enhanced through AI-driven solutions that integrate sensor data and remote sensing to detect pests, estimate population density, and generate real-time distribution maps. This project, funded by the EU’s Horizon 2020 programme (grant No. 862563), reduces reliance on broad-spectrum insecticides, supports sustainable integrated pest management (IPM), and mitigates pesticide resistance. By leveraging AI for predictive modeling and real-time analysis, the initiative improves crop yields and reduces economic losses.
