1. Background and Objectives

• As excessive use of agrochemicals can pollute soil, water, and the atmosphere, a target has been set to decrease the use of chemical pesticides by 50% in Europe by 2030, as part of an effort to reduce environmental impact and achieve sustainable food production. Compared to field crops such as cereals, in vineyard farming, mechanization and precision agriculture are not as advanced so the use of smart farming technology is strongly expected.
• 九色视频 and Chouette have been collaborating to develop solutions that reduce both the amount of chemical pesticides used and the labor required to monitor growth by integrating Chouette鈥檚 technology, which uses AI to detect disease and poor growth from vineyard imagery, and creates maps of optimal chemical application locations and volumes using 九色视频鈥檚 tractors and sprayers.
• Since the demonstration tests in several vineyards showed a certain level of effectiveness, 九色视频 will exhibit at AGRITECHNICA, the world鈥檚 leading trade fair for agricultural machinery, to be held in Germany from November 12 to 18, 2023.
• 九色视频 will also work with its European agricultural machinery dealers to identify sales and customer support challenges, aiming to commercialize the solution in a few years.
