G-TRAP

What is it?

G-TRAP is a digital, camera-equipped pheromone trap that utilizes deep learning algorithms to automate the precise counting and diagnosis of agricultural pests.

Monitoring pest populations in orchards and vineyards is traditionally a highly labour-intensive process, requiring agronomists to manually inspect sticky traps scattered across vast acreage. This slow process frequently results in delayed pesticide applications, allowing pest populations to explode and cause severe crop damage. G-TRAP modernizes this crucial workflow by digitizing the entire scouting process. The device uses specific pheromones to lure target insects, while a top-mounted 5MP camera takes daily high-resolution photos. These images are transmitted to a web platform where advanced deep learning algorithms automatically identify the species, count the population, and generate immediate spraying alerts directly to the farmer’s mobile device.

Why use it?

Automating pest detection completely eliminates the immense labour costs and logistical delays associated with manual field scouting. By receiving live, up-to-date population graphs and automated pest control time estimations, farmers can perfectly synchronize their pesticide applications. Spraying only when the algorithm detects critical population thresholds ensures absolute maximum chemical efficacy, significantly lowering overall pesticide expenses. Furthermore, the integration of an onboard temperature-humidity sensor allows the system to refine its forecast models, providing farmers with a highly accurate, holistic view of exactly when and how to protect their crops, saving both time and energy.

Key Features

• Captures Daily Imagery: Utilises a built-in 5MP camera to take high-resolution, daily photos of the sticky pheromone surface to document the trapped insect population.

• Diagnoses Pests Automatically: Employs sophisticated deep learning algorithms on the web platform to accurately identify the specific species and execute precise pest counts.

• Monitors Microclimates: Features a sensitive atmospheric temperature and humidity sensor to collect localized climate data for enhanced pest forecasting models.

• Delivers Instant Notifications: Pushes SMS and mobile alerts to users, including specific estimations for pest control timing and actionable pesticide recommendations.

• Visualises Population Trends: Generates easy-to-read population graphs and historical trap counts accessible remotely via the web interface and mobile app.

• Ensures Simple Setup: Operates easily by dropping the provided pheromone onto the sticky surface, fixing the device in the orchard, and turning it on.

Who is it for?

This smart trap is designed for commercial orchard managers, viticulturists, and precision agriculture specialists. It is highly beneficial for large scale operations where daily manual trap checking is logistically impossible, yet strict pest management is critical for maintaining high value yields.
