Automatic Localization of Soybean Seedlings Based on Crop Signaling and Multi-View Imaging [PDF]
Soybean is grown worldwide for its high protein and oil content. Weeds compete fiercely for resources, which affects soybean yields. Because of the progressive enhancement of weed resistance to herbicides and the quickly increasing cost of manual weeding,

Inter and Intra Row Weed and Its Effect: A Review
In India, One of the main biological barriers limiting crop output in India is weeds. Most crops are prone to weed infestation. Millions of weed seeds are present in most agricultural soils per hectare, and if weeds are not controlled, they substantially lower crop yields by competing with the crop for nutrients, light, and water.

Cross-Flaming Application for Intra-Row Weed Control in Maize [PDF]
Abstract. Flame weeding is the most common thermal intra-row weed control method used in agriculture as an alternative to herbicides in heat-tolerant crops. Within the seventh framework program project “Robot fleets for Highly Effective Agriculture and Forestry Management” (RHEA), the University of Pisa was responsible for the development of an ...

Assessment and Economic Aspects of Pivoting Arm Intra-Row Weeder [PDF]
Weeding is a tedious process and labor-intensive task, but it is a challenging task to do weeding in an intra-row zone. Manual weeding demands extensive labour and generates discomfort due to bending posture, time consumption, and the non-availability of

An Alternative Tool for Intra-Row Weed Control in a High-Density Olive Orchard
In high-density olive orchards, weed control along the row is pivotal to avoid the competition between the young trees and the weeds to promote a strong vegetative growth of the olives during the first years after planting.
