Light-based suppression system for plant pests
The Light-Based Suppression System is a non-chemical technology using UV light to inhibit spore germination and infection. Designed for fruit crops, it offers easy operation, no residues, and compatibility with nighttime automation. Greenhouse and field trials show it reduces diseases without harming growth. With stricter pesticide rules and resistance issues, demand for non-chemical control is rising. The system is modular and smart-ready, integrating with prediction models, autonomous vehicles, and sensors, offering a sustainable crop protection tool.
