Experience Usecase
Onions including volunteer potatoes
Onion crops are highly sensitive, and any weed competition or crop interference can directly impact size, quality, and yield. Ecorobotix’s ARA sprayer brings a new level of precision weed control, now optimized for volunteer potato management in onion fields.
The Challenge: Delicate Crops, Persistent Threats
Onions don’t compete well with weeds. But worse, volunteer potatoes, resprouting from missed tubers, pose a silent, costly threat. These plants:
Increase chemical use and compromise sustainable practices
Disrupt onion growth and bulb formation
Spread fungal, viral, and bacterial diseases (e.g. Rhizoctonia, Phytophthora infestans, PVY)
Persist through rotations and resist standard herbicides
The Solution: Ultra-High Precision at Plant Level
Ecorobotix’s ARA uses high-res cameras and AI to individually detect and treat weeds and volunteer potatoes—even when they emerge late or unevenly. That means:
Disease risk mitigation: Reduce pathogen hosts in rotation
Less chemical, more control: Up to 95% reduction in herbicide use
No crop damage: Onion rows remain untouched
Optimized harvest quality: Bigger bulbs, higher market value
