USE CASE
NATIONAL CITRUS PEST CONTROL: SDSS - ISRAEL
The Israeli Ministry of Agriculture has been successfully using AGRI INSIGHT for three years now to control and eliminate the Mediterranean Fruit Fly to citrus orchards throughout the country.
THE GOAL
Zero infestation to fruits intended for marketing, in order to increase profits for the farmers.

THE
PROBLEM
THE
SOLUTION
Data collection into centralized geo database. Advanced SDSS is implemented. System recommendations & user decisions are recorded for future Machine Learning & algorithm improvement.
DATA COLLECTION & MANAGEMENT
COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION:
Field data collection.
Data from external sources.
Big Data usage e.g. weather.
Data management, analysis & decision making.
ALGORITHM - SDSS
Run a unique algorithm developed from a PhD thesis.
The algorithm improves from session to session by machine learning.
PEST CONTROL RECOMMENDATION
Spraying map is obtained within few seconds, with severity levels.
Plots regional distribution for effective spraying execution.
