AgTech applications could ‘revolutionise’ cotton farming industry, say Monash researchers
Shares
Researchers at Monash University are applying Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and game-design practices to reduce spray drift from agricultural pesticides, minimising the negative impact on neighbouring crops and wildlife - and potentially “revolutionising cotton farming.
Monash says that while there is currently no way of receiving immediate feedback to indicate if spray set up and operation is correct, the “revolutionising agricultural spray applications” for the Cotton Research and Development Corporation (CRDC) project aims to address this challenge. 
According to Monash spray drift cost the Australian cotton industry more than $18 million in crop losses in 2018 alone, and that with spray drift and the unwanted movement of pesticides are a global environmental issue.  ....
