Introduction Weed control is a key element in precision agriculture. In computer vision, variety of techniques are developed to detect, identify and locate weeds in different crops. Chemical weed control is widely practiced to reduce infection rates and improve crops. Targeting weeds and minimizing the exposure of the crops to sprayed agrochemicals results in high… read more »

Introduction Agricultural robots are generally designed to execute a agricultural task such as planting, weeding, pruning, picking, harvesting, packing, handling etc. Agricultural robots automate specific slow, repetitive and dull agricultural tasks for farmers, drastically limiting hard labor and allowing the producers to focus more on improving overall production yields instead of spending most of their… read more »

Scientific Article Development and field evaluation of a completely automatic system for intra-row weed control in tomato fields. This system uses an automatically generated GPS crop plant map to automatically control the path of a set of mechanical intra-row weed knives in order to kill weeds growing between tomato plants in the seedline. The… read more »
Scientific Article Researchers at UC Davis and elsewhere have demonstrated the technical feasibility of using RTK-GPS technology to automatically create crop plant maps at planting (Sun et al., 2010; Perez-Ruiz, 2011). This paper describes the development and field evaluation of a completely automatic system for intra-row weed control in tomato fields. This system uses… read more »
