In the EU-funded CROPS (Clever Robots for Crops) project high tech robots are developed for site-specific spraying and selective harvesting of fruit and fruit vegetables. The harvesting robots are being designed to harvest high-value crops such as greenhouse vegetables, fruits in orchards and grapes for premium wines. The CROPS robots are also developed for canopy spraying in orchards and for p...

background: baits have become popular and effective formulations against urban insect pests. compared with re­sidual sprays toxic gel baits are used more and more frequently to control urban cockroach populations. the aim of this study was to investigate the usage of two commercially available fipronil and imidacloprid gel bait formulations against blattella germanica field infested in iran. me...

Autonomous modular system mounted on a conventional (CON) sprayer operating the principle of pulse-width modulation (PWM) control electromagnetic valves represents state-of-the-art technology for implementation controlled application spray mixture without changing parameters (e.g. pressure, nozzle size). In accordance with principles precision viticulture, pulse width is primary technology, whi...

this experiment was conducted to study the effect of nozzle types and the time of herbicide incorporation in soil on weed control, using split plot design by randomized block design. the main plots were soil and herbicide mixing time and the subplots were nozzle types with three replications. this study was performed in karaj station of seed and plant improvement institute, located 25 km west o...
