Following several years of development work to develop a mechanical system to remove weeds from within rows of plant, rather than just alongside them, Garford has now produced an advanced version of its Robocrop weeder. Controlled by a computer system which "sees" where plants are, a hydraulically rotated blade enters the space between plants to remove weeds. Built as a multi-row system, the Robocrop will appeal to growers looking to cut down on chemical herbicides although at about £7000 a row, it perhaps needs some consideration.
