Our future technologies department plays a pivotal role in integrating new agricultural technologies both on grower farms and across the wider industry. In partnership with Ernest Doe, VCS (UK) Ltd provides setup and technical support for the ultra-high precision Ecorobotix spot sprayer. Our team are actively exploring spot treatment registration and developing new modelling programmes tailored for spot spraying technologies. Additionally, crop imagery is being conducted to support the development of crop-specific algorithms across a diverse range of specialist vegetable crops. Going forward, VCS (UK) Ltd will look to closely collaborate with the Chemicals Regulation Directorate (CRD) to address challenges associated with conventional chemical applications.
