Scaling electrical weed control across different crop types and weeding platforms

随着世界人口的增加，对除草剂的需求也在增加。除草剂市场面临巨大的压力，因为1)杂草对除草剂的抗药性越来越强，2)监管机构已经开始禁止使用除草剂，因为健康和环境问题，以及3)针对除草剂制造商的诉讼费用正在增加。电力是除草剂的一种可扩展和可持续的替代品，解决了除草剂、热方法和机械方法的根本缺点。该项目将为新的作物类型创造原型除草解决方案。

"Need for weed control growing as world's population increases. Herbicide market under significant pressure because 1) weeds are increasingly becoming resistant to herbicides, 2) regulators have started to ban their use because of health and environmental concerns, and 3) costs of litigation against herbicide manufacturers are increasing.Electricity is a scalable and sustainable alternative to herbicides and addresses the fundamental shortcomings of herbicides, thermal, and mechanical methods.This project will create prototype weeding solutions for new crop types."
