To inform readers about weed sensing: the use of a machine or instrument to detect a weed; a plant that shouldn’t be there
Key messages
Optical Spray Technology (OST) systems are used for broad spectrum weed control for summer weed and fallow weed control. This type of sprayer is widely accepted in broad-acre cropping situations.
In-Crop weed detection is the sensing and identification of non-crop plants within the growing crop.
This technology is not as advanced, nor as widely used as the optical sprayer technology.
