Introduction Spraying drift occurs when the sprayed droplets of agrochemical stray out of the targeted crop field and result in major environmental pollution, toxicities and soil degradation. At the same time, the crops remain unprotected to insect and weed infestations due to the low volume of active chemicals that remain in the field after… read more »

Introduction Crop protection is a key issue in farm management. It involves dealing with important risks and expensive pesticide products. Most of these products are to be applied by means of sprayers. Spraying techniques have been continuously evolving in recent decades. However, it is not only the sprayer itself, but everything related to the… read more »

Paper Introduction High-resolution images from digital cameras support the studying of plant characteristics. These images can also be utilized to analyze shape and texture characteristics for weed identification. Instead of detecting weed patches, weed density can be estimated at a sub-patch level, through which even the identification of a single plant is possible. The aim… read more »
Paper Introduction Weed density can be estimated at a sub-patch level, through which even the identification of a single plant is possible. The aim is to adopt the monocot and dicot coverage ratio vision (MoDiCoVi) algorithm in order to estimate dicotyledon leaf cover, perform grid spraying in real time, and present initial results in terms… read more »
Paper Introduction The stricter legislation within the European Union for the regulation of herbicides that are prone to leaching causes a greater economic burden on the agricultural industry through taxation. Owing to the increased economic burden, research in reducing herbicide usage has been prompted. High-resolution images from digital cameras support the studying of plant characteristics…. read more »
