中文摘要
“随着世界人口的增加,对粮食杂草控制的需求也在增长。目前,这一市场由除草剂制造商主导。然而,由于两个关键原因,该行业面临巨大压力。第一,杂草对除草剂的天然抗性越来越强。其次,监管机构已经认识到这一挑战,并考虑到健康和环境问题,已开始限制或禁止其使用。使用电力除草解决了化学除草剂和其他热或机械替代方法的根本缺点。该项目将探讨电池供电除草技术的可行性。实现这一目标将使该技术能够用于任何当前和未来的除草平台,使其成为化学除草剂的可行,可扩展和有机替代品。"
英文摘要
"The need for weed control for food is growing as the world's population increases.This market is currently dominated by herbicide manufacturers. However, that industry is under significant pressure for two keys reasons. The first is that weeds are increasingly becoming naturally resistant to herbicides. The second is that regulators have recognised this challenge, and couple with health and environmental concerns, have started to restrict or ban their use.Using electricity to kill weeds addresses the fundamental shortcomings of chemical herbicides and other thermal or mechanical alternative methods.This project will see if it is feasibility to run electrical weed killing technology from a battery. Achieving this will allow the technology to be used in any current and future weeding platform, allowing it to become a viable, scalable and organic alternative to chemical herbicides."
