Tiny invaders, big losses: how SAR radar helps protect your crops from ants

| Radaz | Blog

Did you know that ant nests can destroy up to 15% of a plantation’s yield? The good news is that there’s a fast and effective way to tackle this problem.
The threat of leafcutter ants

Leafcutter ants are experts in turning healthy crops into financial losses – and also in damaging planted forests. A single colony can:

  • Render large areas unusable;
  • Compromise crop productivity;
  • Damage soil structure with cavities that can span hundreds of square meters. 

Without precise monitoring, these issues often go unnoticed until it’s too late. That’s why investing in Radaz’s radar technology is the best way to prevent significant damage before it happens.
