“Results demonstrate we can control diseases by using less pesticides to save money and environmental problems, but we need very well-trained farmers.”
– Emilio Gil, Full Professor at The Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC)
By developing precision farming tools, the NOVATERRA project demonstrated that it’s possible to control crop diseases with fewer pesticides, reducing costs and environmental impact. However, well-trained farmers are essential for using these technologies effectively. The main challenge remains increasing the adoption of these innovations among farmers to maximise their benefits.
