Automation: The Future of Weed Control.

Growers across the nation and worldwide are dealing with issues associated with weed control, including site specific applications, integrated weed management and application timing. The potential for improving weed control using automation and machine guided technologies can help address these pertinent, production-based weed control problems. Recent advances in technology are paving the way for targeted recognition and application systems for real-time weed control in cropping systems. This presentation will be on some of the latest developments and current research at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and elsewhere in this rapidly developing field.
