Site-Specific Herbicide Application Using Drone Imagery and Variable Rate Technology

This document describes how drone-based imaging and data analysis can optimise herbicide dosing and significantly reduce chemical use without affecting crop yields.

Detail beschrijving

This project uses drone images and within-field soil variation to generate herbicide dose maps and Variable Rate Application files. By analysing weed pressure and crop biomass with convolutional neural networks and integrating soil and weather data, the system enables precise herbicide application. Trials on demo farms showed that herbicide use can be reduced by about 20% without yield losses.
