Development of methods for reducing herbicide use (e. g. Use and regulation of weed occurence by site specific application; Precision farming and combination of chemical and mechanical methods)
Project
Project code: JKI-A-02-008
Contract period: 01.01.2001
- 31.12.2017
Purpose of research: Applied research
Reduce of herbicide use by site specific applications with the help of geographical information systems. Site specific weed control in winter cereals will be performed on the same fields every year over a long period. The most common weeds were counted by species, at grid points which were georeferenced (GPS) and the data spatially analysed. For weed control, weeds were grouped into several classes: grass weeds, broad-leaved weeds (without Galium aparine), Galium aparine and other single weed species. Based on weed distribution maps generated by the spatial analyses, herbicide application maps were created and spatial herbicide application was carried out for grouped and/or single weed species. Site-specific weed control has the potential to reduce herbicide use compared to broadcast application.
