Hexagon has introduced Senvisio, a vision-based steering system for vineyards, orchards, and citrus groves that uses onboard cameras and image processing to guide machinery between crop rows without relying on satellite signals. This technology addresses the limitations of satellite guidance in environments with dense canopies or narrow rows, reducing operator fatigue and minimizing the risk of damaging crops and infrastructure. Senvisio is designed for both retrofit and factory integration, with commercial availability planned for 2027.

Belgian company Biotalys has received Dutch regulatory approval to conduct large-scale commercial trials of its protein-based biofungicide EVOCA NG on tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries, marking a rare regulatory advance for biological crop protection products in Europe. The trials, covering up to 350 hectares, will enable growers to test EVOCA NG under real commercial conditions and allow treated produce to enter the food chain as part of preparations for a planned European launch in 2029. Growers have reported promising results with earlier versions of the product, which targets botrytis and powdery mildew, offering an alternative amid rising resistance and regulatory restrictions on synthetic fungicides.

The UK agri-tech sector faces delays in technology adoption due to demands for "perfect" evidence, with experts warning that this "paralysis by perfection" risks slowing innovation needed to address urgent climate and productivity challenges. Industry leaders and farmers agree that while real-world proof and practical business value are essential, evidence requirements should be balanced and proportionate, rather than exhaustive. Despite strong research and funding, many agri-tech start-ups struggle to scale, and stakeholders are calling for collaboration between researchers and farmers to ensure new technologies fit existing workflows. The sector is urged to adopt more flexible evidence standards and staged innovation assessments to accelerate responsible adoption.
