DESCRIPTION OF TESTED TACTIC
Experiment A: Several combination of flex tine harrowing intensity (speed and tine angle tuning); intelligent weed harrow with variable intensity automatic tuning. Experiment B: intelligent flex tine harrowing (tuning based on weed density); intelligent flex tine harrowing (tuning based on soil density); intelligent flex tine harrowing (tuning based on weed intensity and soil density)
Weed density, leaf cover and soil density sensors coupled with flex-tine harrowing
