Smart-Weed Management Innovations of Herbicide Industries

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI), drone technologies, precision application systems, and digital agriculture have significantly transformed weed management strategies developed by the herbicide industry. These smart innovations aim to enhance herbicide efficiency, enable site-specific weed control, reduce chemical load, and support sustainable and climate-smart agriculture.

This session will highlight industry-led innovations with special emphasis on AI-enabled weed detection, drone-based herbicide application, smart spraying systems, and digital decision-support platforms that contribute to integrated weed management (IWM) and resistance mitigation.
