Detail description

DAT Ecopatch enables real-time weed detection and selective spraying in cereal crops using AI-powered cameras on the sprayer boom. It reduces herbicide use by up to 43% and increases yield by 5% in unsprayed areas, supporting green-to-green and green-to-brown applications. Compatible with existing ISOBUS sprayers, it requires only camera and software installation, with adjustable sensitivity and AI training for species-specific identification. Designed for 12.5 cm row spacing and up to 10 km/h operation, it is ideal for medium to large-scale grain producers seeking cost-effective, sustainable weed management.
