Post-emergent selective herbicide application

For oilseed rape with Anthemis infestation, spot spraying selective herbicide is a highly effective solution. By targeting only the weed-infested areas, you reduce herbicide, fuel, and machinery costs while minimizing crop stress, preserving yield and quality. This method also ensures compliance with EU regulations and has a lower environmental impact.

With a quick 19-minute drone flight we mapped the field to pinpoint the Anthemis presence within the crop. With CultiWise supported by AI recognition, we identified each weed within the Oilseed rape field and created a spot-spray prescription map. This ensured that herbicide was applied only to the infested areas, while the crop remained untouched.

The prescription map, including required herbicide amount, was sent to the sprayer operator. The sprayer applied the exact dose, minimizing waste and ensuring efficient weed control without overspray or leftover mixture.

Result

Same weed-control efficacy, lower inputs, crop stress and environmental load.
