The Challenge: Delicate Crops, Persistent Threats

---

Crops do not compete well with weeds. But worse, volunteer potatoes, resprouting from missed tubers, pose a silent but costly threat.

These plants:

- Increase chemical use and compromise sustainable practices

- Slow down harvest operations and disrupt onion bulb development

- Host nematode pests, threatening future potato crops and breaking regenerative rotation cycles

- Persist through rotations and resist standard herbicides

The Solution: Ultra-High Precision at Plant Level

Ecorobotix’s ARA combines high-resolution cameras and AI to individually detect and treat weeds and volunteer potatoes. This means:

Disease risk mitigation: Break pathogen hosts in rotation

Less chemical, more control: Up to 95% reduction in herbicide use

No crop damage: Phytotoxicity is minimized, ensuring no negative impact on crop development. With the ability to either plant later or harvest earlier than conventional practices, growers can optimize their operations without sacrificing yield.

Optimized harvest quality: Bigger bulbs, higher market value
