Terra Pest

Terra Pest reads pest evidence from imagery and from compatible monitoring hardware, counts what it can identify, and tracks how those counts move across zones and weeks. A single insect in a frame is noise; the same species rising in three adjacent zones while conditions favour it is a signal, and separating one from the other is what this module exists to do.

Capabilities

What Terra Pest does

Turns scattered pest sightings into population trends, hotspots and early warning across the farm.

Detection and counting
Insects visible in imagery are detected and counted per capture, giving a comparable number instead of a note that something was seen.
Monitoring trap integration
Where a farm runs camera-equipped or connected monitoring traps, Terra reads their imagery and counts on the same schedule as the rest of the farm.
Population trends
Counts are tracked over time per zone, so pressure is read as a direction of travel rather than as a single day's number.
Hotspot identification
Zones carrying disproportionate pressure are identified and ranked, which is usually where an inspection should start.
Spatial spread analysis
Rising detections in neighbouring zones are correlated to show direction and pace of spread across the farm's geography.
Outbreak risk and early warning
Trend, spread and environmental conditions are combined into a risk level that changes before counts peak, so a warning arrives while it is still useful.

Request a Farm Assessment

Every agricultural operation has a different data footprint. Terra deployments are scoped according to the farm, existing hardware and required intelligence capabilities.

The assessment establishes what your existing hardware can support before anything is committed.
