Our services
WaterProtect
The WaterProtect tool is a web tool for geospatial analysis of plant protection products in groundwater and surface water.
Environmental Stewardship
The Cropsys team designs field monitoring strategies and installs monitoring equipment to assess the concentrations of plant protection products in surface water and groundwater.
Groundwater modelling
Risk assessments of plant protection products leaching to groundwater greatly benefits from having a groundwater-depth tool. It enables each farmer to see whether his/her fields are in vulnerable zones for the leaching of plant protection products to groundwater.
Persam
The Cropsys team helped to develop the PERSAM (Persistance in Soil Analytical Model) tool for the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) to predict environmental concentrations of plant protection products in soils, in accordance with the guidelines from the experts of the EFSA Pesticide Panel.
