Share: WESTMINSTER, Colo., March 17, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Weed control in vegetables, flowers and herbs can be incredibly labor intensive, experts with the Weed Science Society of America (WSSA) say. There are few herbicides available for these specialty crops, making hand weeding the "go to" process. Now, though, labor shortages are creating tough challenges for growers and driving food prices higher for consumers. Could intelligent weeding machines be the answer? Based on technology advances made to date, experts say the answer is likely yes. In fact, artificial intelligence-driven machines are already being used in vegetable crops and in other areas of specialty farming.
