Weed control in broccoli and cauliflower is becoming increasingly complex as the number of approved herbicide active ingredients declines. However, ARA™, powered by our algorithms, opens new opportunities for weed control.
Precise weed control with Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Our advanced Plant-by-Plant AI™ technology detects weeds of sub-centimeter size in your broccoli and your cauliflower fields, even between the crop. It targets them in less than 1/4 of a second on a footprint as small as 6 by 6cm.
Scan and detect weeds with AI
Our advanced Plant-by-Plant AI™ technology detects weeds of sub-centimeter size in your broccoli crop. It targets them in less than 1/4 of a second on a footprint as small as 6 by 6 cm.
With ARA™, as the broccoli plants are no longer touched during herbicide applications, phytotoxicity is drastically reduced. The result: a gain of 3 to 4 days in production time. The plant retains its full vigour and early maturity right from the start.

Up to 95% Reduction in Plant Protection Product Use
ARA precisely applies herbicides, insecticides, fertilisers and biostimulants only where needed.
A case study, conducted by our agronomists, highlights the agronomic value of ARA™ in a challenging weed management scenario. In a broccoli crop heavily infested with redroot pigweed (Amaranthus retroflexus) and lacking effective post-emergence solutions, ARA™ enabled the safe use of a herbicide through its safety zone feature.
The grower had no window for mechanical weeding because of weather, soil conditions and time constraints. Only ARA™ was possible.
