13. Research director Svend Christensen Crop Production Seminar 2007 U N I V E R S I T Y OF A A R H U S Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Bygholm State-of-art: Patch sprayers  Applicable in particular competitive crops  Treatment index can be reduced by 20-60%  Commercial sprayer with GPS and GIS e.g. Kverneland Cerberus  Requires weed mapping e.g. scouting  A German weed sensor will be on the marked in 2007

14. Research director Svend Christensen Crop Production Seminar 2007 U N I V E R S I T Y OF A A R H U S Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Bygholm State-of-art: Cell sprayers  Applicable in particular stuble fields and row crops  Treatment index can be reduced 25- 75%  Weed seeker  S mart Sprayer (prototype)  A Danish prototype is being developed

15. Research director Svend Christensen Crop Production Seminar 2007 U N I V E R S I T Y OF A A R H U S Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Bygholm State-of-art: Micro sprayers  Applicable in particular high value row crops  Treatment index can be reduced 50-90%  A Danish research platform has been developed

16. Research director Svend Christensen Crop Production Seminar 2007 U N I V E R S I T Y OF A A R H U S Faculty of Agricultural Sciences Institute of Agricultural Engineering, Bygholm Challenges  The price of a robot sprayer  The marked for robot sprayers  K-I-S  Political demand  Research and development
