Herbicides have been the primary weed management practice in agriculture for decades.
However, due to their effects on the environment in addition to weeds becoming resistant …

A laser beam directed towards weeds can be an efficient weed control method as an
alternative to herbicides. Lasers may deliver high-density energy to selected plant material …

■ Against the background of environmental protection nonchemical methods are
increasingly used to control weeds. Thermal weed control plays a crucial role, but there are …

The massive use of herbicides since the 1950s has resulted in increasing problems with
herbicideresistant weeds and pollution of the environment, including food, feed, and water …

Farmers are greatly interested in reducing weed seeds in their fields to avoid unnecessary
weed infestation. Autonomous vehicles equipped with plant recognition systems and lasers …

A prototype of a relatively cheap laser-based weeding device was developed and tested on
couch grass (Elytrigia repens (L.) Desv. ex Nevski) mixed with tomatoes. Three types of laser …

Due to their outstanding properties, interest in lasers has increased greatly in precision
agriculture as a potential tool for non‐chemical weed control. unwanted plants have a …

Increasing concern for the ongoing availability and efficacy of herbicides is driving interest in
the development of alternative physical and thermal weed control methods. Fortunately …

As a part of research into the application of lasers for weed and pest control, the effects of
laser emissions on rice plant leaves were studied. As a consequence of experiments with …

Horticultural weed control strategies based on chemical and thermal methods are
environmentally and energetically questionable. A promising alternative appears to be the …
