Advancing agriculture with machine learning: a new frontier in weed management

Weed management is a crucial aspect of modern agriculture as invasive plants can negatively impact crop yields and profitability. Long-established methods of weed control, such as manual labor and synthetic herbicides, have been widely used but come with their own set of challenges. These methods ar...

description Weed management is a crucial aspect of modern agriculture as invasive plants can negatively impact crop yields and profitability. Long-established methods of weed control, such as manual labor and synthetic herbicides, have been widely used but come with their own set of challenges. These methods are often time-consuming, labor-intensive, and pose environmental risks. Herbicides have been the primary method of weed control due to their efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, over-reliance on herbicides has led to environmental contamination, weed resistance, and potential health hazards. To address these issues, researchers and industry experts are now exploring the integration of machine learning into chemical weed management strategies. As technology advances, there is a growing interest in exploring innovative and sustainable weed management approaches. This review examines the potential of machine learning in chemical weed management. Machine learning offers innovative and sustainable approaches by analyzing large data sets, recognizing patterns, and making accurate predictions. Machine learning models can classify weed species and optimize herbicide usage. Real-time monitoring enables timely intervention, preventing invasive species spread. Integrating machine learning into chemical weed management holds promise for enhancing agricultural practices, reducing herbicide usage and minimizing environmental impact. Validation and refinement of these algorithms are needed for practical application.
