Abstract: Sub-optimal harvesting is estimated to cost global agriculture around 250 billion dollars per year through in-field losses and downstream spoilage.

MicaSense has now released the RedEdge-P Green – part of the expanded MicaSense series – a multispectral camera specifically designed to detect the early onset of senescence and pre-harvest stress. This enables earlier intervention, reduced losses, and more precise harvest timing.

The camera’s bands are optimised to characterise anthocyanins, carotenoids (including the xanthophyll cycle), and the progressive loss of chlorophyll-a – three independent indicators of plant maturity. When paired with Red and Blue sister cameras, users gain a full 15-band configuration for advanced modelling, species differentiation and disease identification.

In this session Simon Yates will outline MicaSense’s development work in smart harvesting, explain the technology behind the new Green camera, and discuss the potential benefits for agricultural researchers, professional growers and ecologists.
