High-Speed Centimeter Scale Resolution Sprayer for Precision In-Row Weeding
Please watch a demonstration of a spray assembly delivering herbicidal spray (blue dye) to spot spray targeted weeds. The device will be integrated with an imaging system for precision, automated / robotic weed control. Weed targets and crop plants are indicated on paper by green and yellow squares respectively. The same targeting pattern is used for simulated weeds (small plastic plants) and crop plants (white roses). Off target spray on paper is due to liquid splashing on a hard surface and is not observed on plastic weed targets. The travel speed is 2 mph and nozzle height - 5".
