Innovate UK funded project to develop a novel handheld imaging device to measure spray deposits

Imaging fluorometer for optimising crop spray deposits

“We are working on an Innovate UK funded project to develop a novel handheld imaging device to measure spray deposits on crops, so that they can be rapidly quantified by spray operators in the field,” reports CTG’s Technical Director, Dr John Attridge.

“This technology will enable spray operators to determine and optimise sprayer performance e.g. according to crop structure, growth and weather conditions, as well as quality assure spray applications and check for off-target contamination.

We are working with a number of the UK’s leading horticultural producers who recognize the importance of setting new standards of best practice for crop spraying. It is anticipated that this new technology will readily transfer throughout agriculture and horticulture industry.”
