Indirect Crop Line Detection in Precision Mechanical Weeding Using AI: A Comparative Analysis of Different Approaches

Engineering Proceedings
Growing interest in organic food, along with European regulations limiting chemical usage, and the declining effectiveness of herbicides due to weed resistance, are all contributing to the growing trend towards mechanical weeding.

A review of knowledge: inter-row hoeing & its associated agronomy in organic cereal & pulse crops [PDF]

, 2002
The aim of this project was to establish the “state of the art” for inter-row hoeing and its associated agronomic practices in organic cereal and pulse crops. To achieve this a detailed review of literature was undertaken.

Hortibot: Feasibility study of a plant nursing robot performing weeding operations – part IV [PDF]

, 2007
Based on the development of a robotic tool carrier (Hortibot) equipped with weeding tools, a feasibility study was carried out to evaluate the viability of this innovative technology. The feasibility was demonstrated through a targeted evaluation adapted

Testing optimal defense theory: Root resistance selection in chicory (Cichorium intybus) reduces foliar defense and alters aphid performance and feeding behavior

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
Root‐focused resistance in chicory reduces defenses in leaves, impairing root aphids but enhancing foliar aphid performance. Selecting root resistance can create unintended trade‐offs across plant organs. Abstract BACKGROUND Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of herbivores at both aboveground (AG) and belowground (BG) levels, involving ...

Band-steaming reduces laborious hand-weeding in vegetables [PDF]

, 2004
Band-steaming is a new method that may reduce the need for hand-weeding in demanding row crops like carrot and drilled onion. Band-steaming only affects a soil volume equal to the intra-row area of the subsequent crop, and effectively kills the weed ...

The Ecology of Human Sleep (EcoSleep) Cohort Study: Protocol for a longitudinal repeated measurement burst design study to assess the relationship between sleep determinants and outcomes under real‐world conditions across time of year

Journal of Sleep Research, Volume 34, Issue 2, April 2025.
Summary The interplay of daily life factors, including mood, physical activity, or light exposure, influences sleep architecture and quality. Laboratory‐based studies often isolate these determinants to establish causality, thereby sacrificing ecological validity.

First Tetraploa Genome and Multi‐Omics Analysis Reveal Key Plant‐Microbe‐Soil Interactions for Salt Tolerance and Yield Improvement of Wheat

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Salinity is a major threat to global agricultural productivity of staple crops such as wheat. Although microbial‐based solutions hold promise for alleviating salinity stress, practical implementation is hindered by insufficient mechanistic characterization of bioinoculants and their interactions with plants.

A real-time approach system for vineyards intra-row weed detection

, 2022
With the incorporation of autonomous robotic platforms in various areas (Industry, Agriculture, etc.), numerous mundane operations have been assisted by fully automated. From the dawn of humanity, in Agriculture, the high demanding working environment let the development of techniques and machineries that could cope with each case.
