Volunteer Potatoes in Sugar Beets
At Ecorobotix, we are transforming weed management in sugar beet fields, with our breakthrough algorithm controlling volunteer potatoes.
The Challenge: Invasive Weeds & Volunteer Potatoes
Sugar beet crops are especially affected by herbicide-resistant weeds, and even more by volunteer potatoes. These unwanted plants grow from leftover tubers and cause several problems: they host pests and diseases, reduce yield and quality, and disrupt crop rotation, not just for the current season but for future ones too.
Traditional solutions are often incomplete or too expensive. Manual weeding is hard work, while broadcast spraying uses more plant protection product, puts stress on the crop, and speeds up herbicide resistance.
The Solution: Targeted AI-Driven Precision
Ecorobotix’s ARA sprayer uses plant-by-plant 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
- Controls volunteer potatoes efficiently with reduced impact on the crop
