ARA and Groupe Carré in the French professional media

Weekly newspaper Terres & Territoires and specialised website Circuits Culture both reported on the demo day our partner Groupe Carré set up in Pas-de-Calais (France) on June 28. ARA's impressive performance really stood out.

ARA makes a strong impression

On June 28, 2022, Groupe Carré was holding their traditional demo day on their pilot farm in Gouy-sous-Bellone (France). Together with Eco-Phyt Association, the team at Groupe Carré showed their partners and members the trials and results they achieved this year.

One of the 4 workshops of the day was about ARA and its ultra-targeted weed control capacities. Our technology really made a strong impression!

Here are some excerpts, in case you don't feel like reading the whole stories.

[About ARA] "The goal is to offer efficiency and profitability to farmers, explains David Boucher, agronomy coach for Groupe Carré. In beets, the treatment frequency index (TFI) was divided by 3. This is interesting for the HEV, High Environmental Value certified farms."

"The camera captures a 120-cm width and takes 100 images per second, says Sébastien Branche, sales manager for France and Belgium at Ecorobotix. The images are processed to detect crops and weeds. Then the systems takes the decision to spray or not to spray."
