Ecorobotix has developed an innovative
technology to allow for smart and ultra-
localized application of herbicides based
on weed visual identification (machine
learning) and the selective spraying of 1 or
2 herbicides on targeted weeds only. The
Ecorobotix technology leads to a significant
reduction of the amount of products sprayed
per hectare. Belchim has been collaborating
with Ecorobotix - its biorational herbicide,
Beloukha, being included in several trials.
