New technology with artificial intelligence makes faster and more accurate diagnoses of nematodes in soybean crops

The IBRA megalab, a national reference in agronomic analyses, launches an unprecedented technology for the diagnosis of nematodes in soybean crops. The solution combines the scientific rigor of the traditional method of laboratory analyses of soil and roots with artificial intelligence tools, offering a complete system for the identification and monitoring of these pests in agricultural areas. In October, specialized laboratories for the analysis of nematodes will be inaugurated in Sorriso (MT) and Rio Verde (GO), but the technology is available for all of Brazil. With the new system, soil and root samples undergo microscopic analyses conducted by experts—a process that guarantees the scientific rigor and traditional technical validation—and then the results are processed by artificial intelligence algorithms, capable of recognizing patterns, quantifying populations, and delivering detailed reports with greater speed and reliability. "Traditional analyses continue to be the basis ...
