You can now get real-time data to accurately pinpoint the location of pests. This saves time and money on pest monitoring and management.

Rapidaim is an Australian company making insect detection technology. The traps are able to identify fruit fly and other pests and send a real time message to the farmer’s mobile phone to enable early targeted spraying.

There are many reasons to consider actively limiting pesticide use. The long term effects on the Australian environment are unknown and health problems associated with the first generation pesticides like DDT took years to emerge.

We need to take a far more precautionary approach to agricultural chemicals.
