Biological control with drones For decades, agricultural pest control has relied heavily on chemical products which, although providing quick results, also produced side effects: loss of biodiversity, soil and water pollution, pest resistance, and rising production costs. Today, agriculture faces an unavoidable challenge: to produce more with less environmental impact. In this context, a new [...]

On September 25, 2025, Plataforma Tierra (Grupo Cajamar) announced the incorporation of 23 new technology companies into its acceleration programs specialized in the agri-food sector. Among them are startups offering outstanding solutions for efficient water use, precision agriculture, food production, and disruptive technologies. In this call, BENIU was selected to join Cajamar’s innovation ecosystem, a […]
🌋 A unique territory that requires tailored solutions La Palma is not just any island. Its rugged terrain, the presence of sensitive ecosystems, and the coexistence of human activity with natural values mean that any action on the territory requires precise and up-to-date information. At BENIU, we have deployed an environmental drone monitoring campaign on […]
From druids to drones: this is how the day in Samos unfolded On June 12, we at BENIU participated in a very special event organized by the Galician Association of Chestnuts and Soutos (AGCS) in the municipality of Samos (Lugo). An event that brought together tradition and innovation under a very symbolic slogan: “From druids [...]
On May 26, the Regional Government of Galicia (Xunta de Galicia) took a decisive step toward modernizing the primary sector by announcing its support for the use of drones in the fight against pests and diseases in Galician crops. This initiative, led by the Department of Rural Affairs, acknowledges the value of technology as a [...]
Why is it key to understand the difference? In the agricultural world, choosing the right method for pest and disease control can make the difference between a healthy harvest and a compromised yield. The terms fumigation and spraying are often used interchangeably, but in fact, they refer to very different application techniques, each with its [...]
Flood damage DAMAGE ASSESSMENT Using aerial photogrammetry, we conducted an accurate assessment of damage to agricultural land affected by flooding, mapping an impacted area of approximately 7 hectares. Through geospatial analysis, we estimated production losses by considering the unusable surface area and the extent of crop damage. This detailed information was key to the preparation [...]
Phytosanitary treatment against rice stink bug TREATMENTS Treatment against rice stink bug (Eysarcoris ventralis) in the Rice Fields of Vega Baja, Extremadura. In 2023, we carried out phytosanitary treatments promoted and authorized by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Junta de Extremadura to control Eysarcoris ventralis, a pest affecting the region’s rice fields. More than [...]
Terraced olive grove treatment TREATMENTS Fertilization and biostimulation in terraced olive groves In a terraced olive grove with complex topography, we applied fertilization and biostimulation treatments using drones, overcoming logistical challenges and reducing costs. The terrain’s geography made access difficult, but drones ensured precise and efficient application, optimizing input usage and maximizing harvest yield. This [...]
Analysis of vegetative development in vineyards MONITORING AND REMOTE SENSING Multispectral analysis in vineyards We perform a multispectral drone analysis over a vineyard to assess its health status. Using different vegetation indices such as NDVI, GCI, and NDRE, we detect areas with lower vegetative vigor. This pattern led to a detailed soil inspection, where a [...]
