Future Live – Weeding Challenge
KWS tests weed robots in the field
Demands for more sustainability in agriculture and increasing regulations for crop protection: The agricultural industry is undergoing rapid change and presenting farmers with greater challenges. Against this background, KWS is tackling the future topics surrounding economical and sustainable crop production outside of its core business as well.
With the project “Future Live – Robotic weeding in the field” KWS tests together with the University of Göttingen and the German "Institut für Zuckerrübenforschung" (Institute for Sugarbeet Research) (IfZ) innovative solutions for combating weeds in sugarbeet farming under real field conditions. The tests will be separated in weeding challenges and practical experiences at farmers fields.
As part of our digital field of experiments FarmerSpace, we are conducting trials on modern weed control methods in sugarbeet together with KWS,
Aim of the project is:
Offering a platform to the manufacturers of these innovative robot systems
Discussing innovative weeding solutions for sugarbeet
Identifying application potentials for precision weeding technologies in sugarbeet
Testing innovative technologies under real field conditions
