I-FARM U: Robotics
I-FARM management and practices for under-canopy robotics:
Under-canopy cover-crop planting, and spot
re-seeding after rain damage
- Less cover crop seeds rate per acres
- More seed-to-soil contact
- Precise seed plantation
- Fewer dollars ($) per acre
- Less damage to the crop
- Higher germination rate
Under-canopy phenotyping
- Autonomous plant traits data collection
- Efficient data collection
- Reduce human efforts
- Data readily available in the cloud
Under-canopy mechanical weeding
- No chemical usage
- Spot weeding
- Less expensive
