Ecorobotix, a sustainable Swiss Agtech firm, active in the field of AI-based weeding, has developed its newest AI software algorithms, now available as “beta versions” for testing by Ecorobotix clients. These new algorithms mark a significant advancement in crop compatibility, offering new application possibilities for the ARA ultra-high precision sprayer, available in the United States, Canada and South America.
The following crop algorithms are currently under development:
- Dicots in wheat
- Carrots
- Volunteer potatoes in chicory
- Dock + Thistle
- Cotton
- Soy
Among the algorithms, the carrot algorithm stands out as particularly robust, already garnering praise from early adopters, with recent feedback showcasing impressive results in a client’s field in France.
Ensuring the versatility of the ARA sprayer across various fields and crop types is a top priority for Ecorobotix, necessitating the regular introduction of new algorithms. Ecorobotix’s Plant-by-Plant AI Software boasts a comprehensive range of approximately 20 different crop algorithms, offering versatility and adaptability across various spraying methods. In addition to herbicides, the ARA sprayer can precisely apply insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers, and biostimulants, reducing up to as much as 95% of these chemicals. For crops not covered by specific algorithms, the software’s All-Green algorithm or Row Algorithm provides adaptable solutions.
Clients with an ARA sprayer can access these crop algorithms free of charge for a limited time. New clients in 2024 can also benefit from this opportunity.
