Deep Learning with unsupervised data labeling for weeds detection on UAV images [PDF]
In modern agriculture, usually weeds control consists in spraying herbicides all over the agricultural field. This practice involves significant waste and cost of herbicide for farmers and environmental pollution. One way to reduce the cost and environmental impact is to allocate the right doses of herbicide at the right place and at the right time ...

Hierarchical modelling of species sensitivity distribution: development and application to the case of diatoms exposed to several herbicides [PDF]
The Species Sensitivity Distribution (SSD) is a key tool to assess the ecotoxicological threat of contaminant to biodiversity. It predicts safe concentrations for a contaminant in a community. Widely used, this approach suffers from several drawbacks: i)summarizing the sensitivity of each species by a single value entails a loss of valuable information

Herbicidal pollution—pollen damage due to herbicides
Abstract The maximisation of agricultural yields has been related to the utilisation of pesticides and, as a result, herbicidal control of weeds has gathered momentum. In spite of the greater selectivity and minimum damage aimed at, herbicides have now been proved to act as ecological narcotics.

SpectroGLY: A Low-Cost IoT-Based Ecosystem for the Detection of Glyphosate Residues in Waters [PDF]
Glyphosate contamination in waters is becoming a major health problem that needs to be urgently addressed, as accidental spraying, drift or leakage of this highly water-soluble herbicide can impact aquatic ecosystems. Researchers are increasingly concerned about exposure to glyphosate and the risks its poses to human health, since it may cause ...

Precise Robotic Weed Spot-Spraying for Reduced Herbicide Usage and Improved Environmental Outcomes -- A Real-World Case Study [PDF]
Precise robotic weed control plays an essential role in precision agriculture. It can help significantly reduce the environmental impact of herbicides while reducing weed management costs for farmers. In this paper, we demonstrate that a custom-designed robotic spot spraying tool based on computer vision and deep learning can significantly reduce ...
