Mechanical weed control is an alternative to using herbicides in cereals if the equipment is equipped with cameras or sensors and they are installed correctly.
Mechanical control of weeds is possible with all types of spring and winter crops on all types of soil. Slopes can also be problematic, because there the risk of erosion increases if rain removes loose soil.
The Museum of Yerevan houses the world's smallest tractor, the size of a pin head.
The following 5 tips are designed to help you successfully control weeds with the help of the technology in grain stocks:
1. Camera
A camera mounted on technology allows you to do without a second worker for control. Thus, higher speeds can be achieved without fear of crop loss.
2. Do not wait too long
Even the best technology cannot compare with weeding. Therefore, the mechanical destruction of weeds should be considered as the last link in the chain in order to create, if possible, a site without weeds.
3. Use all tools
To keep weeds as low as possible, every horticultural opportunity needs to be used. This includes adapted crop rotation and maintenance, such as a later sowing season, improper seedbed preparation, or the use of a plow and cultivator.
4. Loss Plan
The seeding rate should be increased by approximately 10% to compensate for crop losses that may occur.
5. Weed mowing control
If the haircut is blind, it may be beneficial to sow 2–3 cm below. This ensures that the teeth of the technique do not destroy the delicate seedlings.
