Post-emergent selective herbicide application
A 12-minute drone flight mapped Cirsium arvense across a cornfield (BBCH 12). In CultiWise, the data were processed into a Green-on-Green prescription map, targeting herbicide only on weed-infested patches. The operator received an exact spray-volume recommendation, enabling precise application with full tank utilization, no overspray, and no mixture left unused.
Result:
Same weed-control efficacy with over 50 % less herbicide, lower input costs, crop stress, and environmental impact.
