Overcoming Damage With Data | Why Agricultural Monitoring Matters Even More Now
In modern farming reality, fast and accurate agricultural monitoring is indispensable. Operating without comprehensive real-time monitoring is essentially trying to farm blindfolded, making it akin to guessing rather than deciding.
Using nanotechnology to target crop-munching pests
Current approach to pesticides kills beneficial bugs such as pollinators and predatory insects that help maintain healthy ecosystem.
Termites | What You Should Know About the Silent Saboteurs of Soil and Structure
Farmers cultivating sugarcane, maize, rice, wheat, groundnuts, and various fruit trees must remain vigilant. Termites can damage crops by attacking roots and stems, tunneling through plant tissues, weakening the plant's structure, and impeding vital water and nutrient flow.

Novagric is collaborating in an innovative research project aimed at developing more climate-resistant crops through natural plant selection.
Not Your Average Ag Pest, Why Mosquitoes Deserve a Spot on the Radar
With the 2025 mosquito season upon us, we believe it's important to spotlight the risks these pests pose to human health and overall agricultural productivity. Their expanding habitat range, driven largely in part by climate change, makes it clear: awareness is critical.
Stuck in the Past | Why Farmers Are Replacing Sticky Traps with Real-Time Insect Monitoring
While sticky traps have served their purpose over the years, they come with significant drawbacks. These old school monitoring tools demand regular attention and manual data collection - which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.
Understanding The Hidden Costs of the Olive Fruit Fly in Commercial Groves
Beyond the economic toll, the olive fruit fly poses a quality issue. Infested olives can increase acidity levels in olive oil, degrading its flavor and market value. For table olives, visible damage renders the fruit unfit for sale, further compounding growers' losses.

Photophyll™ Select from CREE LED
Photophyll Select is a new phosphor-converted LED color with blue and green spectral output tuned for horticulture applications. These LEDs are designed to replace the white LEDs that are common in two-channel white + red horticulture luminaires. By maximizing green content and minimizing red content versus standard lighting LEDs, this LED color enables significant enhancements to luminaire cost and performance. Photophyll Select LEDs are the industry's first LEDs to be entirely binned in horticulture metrics, enabling more straightforward spectrum design without confusing translations or conversions. The spectral output of these LEDs is binned into two metrics, both of which are based on the amount of PPF in standard Blue (400-499 nm), Green (500-599 nm) and Red (600-700 nm) bands. The two spectral metrics are percentage of Red PPF content and the ratio of Green to Blue PPF content.
