The extra chemicals run off onto land and enter watercourses, harming the environment and health. Now new AI-based spraying methods are being commercialized, promising to reduce pesticide use by up to 90%. The agricultural industry has made progress in reducing overspray, but precision spraying with AI is the future. A team from AgZen, set up by Kripa Varanasi and Vishnu Jayaprakash in 2020 to commercialize a new type of spray nozzle (喷嘴), came up with a monitoring system called RealCoverage, which has now been launched as a product in its own right. Capable of being fitted to existing sprayers, RealCoverage consists of two camera-based sensors on each spray arm, one placed slightly ahead and the other just behind. The AI model take account of various external factors, such as weather conditions, to compute how effective the spray will be. The results are shown in real-time on a display in the driver’s cab, giving a simple percentage of spray success. In addition, it can suggest how things might be improved, so the driver can adjust the nozzles, raise or lower the boom or drive a bit faster or slower to achieve better coverage. All this provides a huge increase in the depth of knowledge available to farmers, essentially allowing them to measure spray results in terms of milliliters per leaf, instead of liters per hectare.The firm says trials on farms in America and Europe allowed farmers to save 30-50% of their chemical costs. For farmers willing to try these new technologies, the possibility of reducing waste is very attractive. 1．What can be learned from the first two paragraphs A．Pesticides are necessary for farming.

This reunion is part of the “Hutong Memory Project”, a groundbreaking collaboration between Tsinghua University and the Beijing Municip ... ...
