From field data to decision: fewer losses, lower cost, and a more precise, traceable, and profitable crop protection programme in every cycle.
BenefitFewer losses
Spot problems early, act before they spread. Scarab Precision integrates pest and disease detection, georeferenced maps, trend analysis, and risk indicators to help your team prioritise the areas that need the most attention. Early interventions based on reliable field data mean fewer losses, healthier crops, and better returns.
BenefitLower cost
Scarab Precision maps the spatial distribution of pests and diseases across greenhouses and open-field crops, enabling precision spraying and targeted release of natural enemies only where required. By treating less and targeting more, you reduce expenditure on chemical products, get more from your biological control budget, and improve the overall cost-effectiveness of your crop protection programme.
BenefitBiological control
The establishment time for biological control is critical: Spatially targeted releases of predatory mites, guided by georeferenced monitoring data, lead to faster establishment and improved effectiveness of the biological control agents. The result is fewer unnecessary losses and greater confidence in biological control as a reliable method of crop protection.
BenefitFast response
Collecting data electronically and swiftly synchronising with the cloud enables immediate analysis, reporting and mapping by block, plot, or greenhouse. This reduces the time between scouting and control intervention, ensuring a timely and accurate match between the control action and the actual pest and disease scenario.
BenefitTargeting
Scarab's spatial analysis pinpoints emerging hotspots of pests and diseases within each block, plot, or greenhouse, enabling early intervention through spot spraying and targeted releases of natural enemies only where they are needed. This reduces spray volumes, lowers the chemical load on your crop, optimises the use of biological control agents, and improves crop vigour, quality, and productivity.
BenefitLearning
Recording and analysing the effectiveness of each crop protection intervention helps confirm what works, where, and when — accelerating learning and continuously optimising your control protocols. This reduces the cost of ineffective interventions, flags irregularities, and ensures your crop protection programme improves with every crop cycle.
BenefitData quality
When you're in control of scouting, you're in control. Scarab provides quality standards in monitoring through periodic audits, standardised criteria, and continuous refresher training in the field. This ensures crop protection decisions are based on accurate, consistent, and traceable information that is comparable across greenhouses, varieties, and production cycles.
BenefitCompliance
Detailed, traceable records of pest and disease monitoring data and every intervention, combined with reduced pesticide use, support the technical justification of decisions and compliance with customer requirements and certifications. This facilitates audits, improves transparency, and strengthens crop protection risk management across your entire operation.
