Yding Smedie A/S, Hybrid solution for weed control: Uniting the best of both worlds.

Product description:

FarmDroid's micro-spraying system combines mechanical weeding with conventional weed control methods for comprehensive weed management in crops. Utilizing RTK GPS technology, the FarmDroid FD20 applies pesticides or fertilizers directly to the plants where it is most needed. This approach reduces the need for plant protection by up to 94%, benefiting the environment while simultaneously lowering operational costs. Our unique GPS-based system micro-sprays pesticides precisely where it is needed, covering only about 6% of the field. The remaining 94% of the field is managed mechanically by the robot's blades, knives, and discs. 

The FarmDroid micro-spraying system features innovative PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) electric nozzles. These precision nozzles deliver minimal doses with exceptional accuracy, ensuring that the exact amount is sprayed on the plant precisely where it is needed.

Expert description:

Farm has primarily been targeted towards organic farmers and has assisted with mechanical weed control. By combining mechanical weed management with a new micro-sprayer, FarmDroid can now keep the fields completely free of weeds while keeping herbicide consumption to a minimum. The micro-sprayer can achieve a coverage area as small as 7x7 cm, reducing chemical usage by up to 94%.
