Development and testing of a decision making based method to adjust automatically the harrowing intensity

TESTED TACTIC

Mechanical weeding

SENSING TECHNOLOGY

REFERENCE SYSTEM

UNTREATED

NO-HERBICIDE

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

DESCRIPTION OF REFERENCE SYSTEM

Experiment A no weed control. Experiment B no weed control
