Find and Irradiate — Lasers Used for Weed Control

Due to their outstanding properties, interest in lasers has increased greatly in precision agriculture as a potential tool for non-chemical weed control. unwanted plants have a negative effect on crop growth, especially in close surroundings. Weed control based on mechanical (e.g. hoeing) or thermal (flaming) methods do not meet the precision requirements to preserve crop plants. An innovative combination of image processing and laser technology is promising.
