AgMeterTM Technology

  • The AgMeterTM measures Carbaryl in grams per cubic centimeter (mg/c2) on the surface of the spinach using a fluorescent sensor.
  • Surface Carbaryl measurements have been correlated to PPM measurements through laboratory and field-trial testing.
  • Software in the AgMeterTM converts the surface measurement to PPM units.
  • AgMeterTM accuracy can be verified with calibration cassettes.
  • Technology is covered by two issued patents (plus others pending).
  • "In the field" portable pesticide detection utilizing "dry" chemistry.
  • Technology designed to improve field analysis through better crop sampling.
