Advanced Technology for Detecting Internal Potato Defects
Eurocelp has announced the successful installation of its first Intracelp unit at ARVALIS, marking an exciting development in the analysis of potato quality. After several months of operation at Eurocelp’s facilities, this cutting-edge technology is now ready to support ARVALIS in its ongoing efforts to ensure high-quality potato production.
The Intracelp system is specifically designed to analyze potato samples in the laboratory, with the ability to detect, recognize, and measure internal defects. This includes identifying issues such as galleries, damage, and hollow hearts—defects that can significantly affect the quality and marketability of potatoes. By providing precise measurements and analyses, Intracelp will enable ARVALIS to improve its assessment processes and enhance the overall quality of potatoes from its trial fields.
As agricultural challenges increase, the importance of technology in monitoring and improving crop quality cannot be overstated. The use of Intracelp represents a significant advancement in the tools available to researchers and producers, allowing for better-informed decisions in potato cultivation.
This partnership between Eurocelp and ARVALIS not only enhances laboratory capabilities but also exemplifies the industry’s commitment to leveraging technology for sustainable and productive agriculture.
