Abstract
To develop and demonstrate weed detection methods and novel spray application technologies that will enable the delivery of herbicides with high spatial precision suitable for targeted applications to control a wide range of weed species in a range of row crops using spray characteristics appropriate to the effective use of new and existing formulations. The work will aim to achieve high levels of weed control with the minimum risk of crop damage and residues and with substantial reductions in herbicide use delivering environmental benefits when compared with alternative and conventional approaches.
