Guidolin Agrimac are your local supplier for all quality Australian-made Goldacres products.
The latest weed sensing technology system will soon be a factory-fitted option on the Goldacres range of sprayers. French company Bilberry will supply the weed-sensing camera system, and Goldacres will work with them to develop the architecture needed to integrate it with the sprayer rate controller.
Bilberry’s artificial intelligence (AI) camera platform is fundamentally different to other sensors on the market. It uses high-speed, high-definition cameras and deep learning AI logic to determine what is a weed and what is not.
With this technology the possibilities are endless. Basically, if you can see the weed in the crop, for example, ryegrass in canola, then the camera can detect it. The new technology will be available on booms up to 48m wide.
This new technology is a win for all. With chemical savings of up to 80 percent, it obviously leaves more dollars in the farmer’s pocket and there is also the reduced risk of crop yield losses due to blanket spraying, which are not always identified or measured.
Another big winner out of this is the environment. When we can use less chemical and less water but achieve better results in weed control, it is beneficial to everyone.
