Herbicide is traditionally used by farmers across entire crop areas to ensure that call weeds are addressed, but this system has been developed by Greeneye Technology as a solution for using far less product and maximizing effects. The system makes use of a camera that is mounted in a downward angle on an herbicide boom sprayer and will automatically dose weeds that are detected during operation. This is reported to save up to 78% of the herbicide that is traditionally used to treat the entire crop area.
The herbicide system from Greeneye Technology makes use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology and can administer doses at speeds of up to 16mph to maximize how quickly an area can be treated.
