ATLAS proudly presents the SmartProtect project, its newest sister project!!!

SmartProtect project intends to develop a thematic network offering advanced farming technology and data analysis by identifying the needs of farmers and purpose methodologies for daily practices based on smart IPM. Through its e-platform, knowledge of vegetable crops related to IPM is gathered, shared, managed, and distributed. It benchmarks the highest innovation model for SMART IPM, providing farmers with easily accessible and understandable material, guidelines, and support systems for vegetable cropping.

The SmartProtect focus is on the detection of beneficials’, pests and pathogens using specific algorithms; implementation of innovative monitoring techniques via automatic counting, sensor systems and multispectral imaging; development of prediction models incorporated into warning and decision support systems; and application of innovative biological control techniques such as conservation biological control, systemic induced resistance, and UV-light systems.
