Bioiberica Plant Physiology presents Crop-Scan® at the 15th New Ag International Conference

Mauro José Bernal, Bioiberica’s area manager, will present this innovative technology that helps farmers diagnose stress in their crops, tree by tree. Using thermal and hyperspectral cameras mounted on manned aircraft, Crop-Scan® scans and photographs all hectares in a plot, analyzing crop temperature and hydration (CWSI index), chlorophyll content (which can be correlated with nutritional deficiencies, as well as nitrogen, iron or foliar zinc content via TCARI, MCARI and OSAVI indexes); vegetation productivity, yield, quality and development (NDI and LAI indexes); an index related to photosynthesis (correlated to fruit quality parameters such as sugar contents and acidity); and the PRI index.
