Advancements in precision control in intra-row weeding: A comprehensive review
Jyoti Lahre and SK Satpathy
Sensor-based weed detection is a significant breakthrough in precise weed management that reduces the need for manual work and herbicides. GPS systems have shown promising results, with a single pass covering 30-49% of the intra-row area. Additionally, using an RGB sensor and a laser sensor together can identify the center of a plant, regardless of lighting conditions. Robots have demonstrated the ability to distinguish 99.7% of crop plants in dense outdoor areas with high weed density. These advancements offer opportunities for more effective and environmentally-friendly weed management in different farming systems.
