Test strips detect pesticide residues in 5 minutes

The Chinese team developed a technology to detect pesticide residues on agricultural products, including test strips and software for reading results on phones.

Users only need to take photos and declare information on agricultural products, the results are displayed after 5 minutes.

Scientists at the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences have applied artificial intelligence (AI) to identify pesticides such as imidacloprid, acetamiprid, chlorpyrifos, and can recognize images. Users only need to take photos and declare information on agricultural products, the results are displayed after 5 minutes.

According to Professor Wang Jing, Research Institute of Agricultural Quality and Technology, the research leader, the technology has an integrated method of analyzing image recognition by artificial intelligence, IoT. The system implements image recognition algorithms with artificial intelligence capable of analyzing and evaluating results.

 "In addition to detecting pesticide residues, the team is researching and developing test strips to detect residues of banned additives, pollutants and allergies , " said Wang Jing.
