- Abstract
The development of a point application for the application of herbicides in row crops is being investigated as part of the OptiKult project. The goal is to reduce the use of plant protection products and ensure precise and uniform distribution of the active ingredients. The point application is based on the use of band spray nozzles attached to valves that allow for quick on and off switching. By planting in a rectangular pattern and storing the GPS coordinates of each plant, mechanical weed control can be carried out. The point application allows for a 85% reduction in plant protection product use compared to full-surface application in row crops such as sugar beets or corn.
