Sugar beets including volunteer potatoes
At Ecorobotix, we’re transforming the way sugar beet fields are managed—now with breakthrough performance in controlling volunteer potatoes, one of the most persistent challenges in rotation systems.
The Challenge: Invasive Weeds & Volunteer Potatoes
Sugar beet crops are especially vulnerable to herbicide-resistant weeds, and even more so to volunteer potatoes. These unwanted plants emerge from leftover tubers and bring a host of issues: harboring pests and pathogens, disrupting rotations, and degrading yield and quality.
Conventional solutions are either incomplete or excessively costly. Manual labor is intensive, and blanket spraying increases chemical use, harms crops, and accelerates resistance.

The Solution: Targeted AI-Driven Precision
Ecorobotix’s ARA sprayer uses Ultra-High Precision (UHP) AI technology to detect and spray individual weeds, including volunteer potatoes, with centimeter-level accuracy. Every plant is analyzed. Every action is optimized.
-Adapts to various emergence stages, even staggered ones
-Up to 95% less herbicide use
-Safeguards sugar beet yield and health
-Eliminates volunteer potatoes efficiently without harming crops
