A key enabling factor for treating individualized weeds in the crops is Automatic Weeding Control device (AWCd) as it being capable of finding and distinguishing field. The non-herbicide approaches used to manage are a component personalized treatment weed crops. In this study, mechanical control techniques investigated an alternative. three specifications—a cutting mechanism, head-surface till...

In recent literature, very few studies have reported the use of the combination of indicators from ecological communities and ecotoxicity biomarkers in field experiments to assess agricultural quality. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the influence of three soil management practices of vine inter-rows (chemical weeding, mechanical weeding and grass-covering) on earthworms, in t...

Mechanical weeding is an important tool in organic farming. However, the use of mechanical weeding in conventional agriculture is increasing, due to public demands to lower the use of pesticides and an increased number of pesticide-resistant weeds. Ground nesting birds are highly susceptible to farming operations, like mechanical weeding, which may destroy the nests and reduce the survival of c...
