Abstract In sub‐Saharan Africa smallholder farmers face challenges of declining soil fertility, erratic rainfall, low crop yields, and food insecurity. Deep bed farming (DBF), a conservation agriculture‐based approach promoted by Tiyeni in Malawi, shows potential to address these issues.

Design and Experiment of Intelligent Mechanical Weeding System Based on DEM–MBD Coupling
Weed control is crucial for safeguarding the yield and quality of fresh maize. To achieve comprehensive, low-damage removal of weeds in fresh maize fields, an intelligent mechanical weeding system was developed. Based on the spatial distribution of maize

Design and Experiment of Autonomous Shield-Cutting End-Effector for Dual-Zone Maize Field Weeding
This study presented an autonomous shield-cutting end-effector for maize surrounding weeding (SEMSW), addressing the challenges of the low weed removal rate (WRR) and high seedling damage rate (SDR) in northern China’s 3–5 leaf stage maize.

Intra-row weeds surviving inter-row cultivation in organic spring cereals - do they harm the crop and how can they be suppressed? [PDF]
New camera technology capable of detecting crop rows makes it possible to employ selective weed control in cereals. Normally cereals are grown at 12.5 cm row spacing in Northern Europe but even a moderate extension of the row spacing can make enough room
