Precision application of agrochemicals is an exciting and active area of research where pesticides and fertilizers are applied only where they are needed and at the appropriate concentration to elicit an optimum response. This approach requires accurate information on soil fertility and pest activity and an applicator that can automatically vary the application rate as desired.
Researchers in California have demonstrated the feasibility of a selective field lettuce harvester where mature lettuce heads are identified by an X-ray signal through the lettuce head, which then instructs the harvester accordingly.
