AI Technology Uses Less Herbicide To Kill Weeds

Vegetable growers use herbicides to kill weeds to prevent crop loss. Meanwhile, a University of Florida researcher is using artificial intelligence to reduce herbicide sprayed on crops.

“We are building multiple AI-powered herbicide application units, each of which works in different ways,” said Nathan Boyd a UF/IFAS weed scientist and horticultural sciences professor at the Gulf Coast Research and Education Center (GCREC).

Targeted herbicide applications typically kill weeds by applying the chemicals only where the weeds grow.
