The European Space Agency announced its support for a new satellite service designed to ensure a more efficient use of pesticides across Europe.

The new service — Site Similarity Certification — merges satellite images with conventional data such as temperature, precipitation, soil characteristics and recurring natural phenomena to improve the scientific approach in defining comparable zones and the transferability of field trial results achieved in one EU member state to another.

Proving the comparability of crop sites saves the pesticide industry from carrying out expensive perennial trials, allows field trials to be planned more efficiently and creates the possibility of substituting missing field trials, the ESA said.
