1. Autonomous Mobile Robot for Monitoring and Control of the Cotton Boll WeevilThe cotton boll weevil (Anthonomus grandis Boheman) is the key pest of Brazilian cotton, accounting for about 12% of production costs and, together with yield losses, reaching roughly R$ 2,470 per hectare per season. Because its immature stages develop protected inside the plant, insecticides reach only the adult, which entrenches calendar-based broadcast spraying and an average of 18 full-field applications per season. Conventional scouting samples as few as 0.1 points per hectare, leaving... R. Balducci Borges, N. Smaal, P.V. Santos, W.G. Bendinelli |
2. From Area-wide Management to Site-specific and Individual Plant Management: the Evolution of Weed Control in ArgentinaSelective herbicide spraying represents one of the most significant innovations in the evolution of Precision Agriculture, enabling a shift from uniform broadcast applications toward spatially explicit and plant-by-plant management models. In a context characterized by the increasing prevalence of herbicide-resistant weed biotypes, rising input costs, and growing environmental and regulatory pressure, these technologies are becoming strategic tools to enhance input-use efficiency and improve the...
