Up close
The Garford Robocrop InRow Weeder is a tractor-mounted weeding machine that uses cameras to find each crop plant and steers rotating discs around it, removing weeds between and within the rows without herbicide. It is accurate to about 8 mm, comes in widths up to about 6 m (up to 20 rows), and suits transplanted vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, celery and salads. Machines are built to order for the crop, row spacing and tractor.
