INTRODUCTION
A valueless plants growing wild , especially one that grows on cultivated ground to the exclusion or injury of the
desired crop or any undesirable or troublesome plant, especially one that grows profusely where it is not wanted .
Weed, general term for any plant growing where it is not wanted. Ever since humans first attempted the cultivation of
plants, they have had to fight the invasion by weeds into areas chosen for crops. Some unwanted plants later were
found to have virtues not originally suspected and so were removed from the category of weeds and taken under
cultivation. Other cultivated plants, when transplanted to new climates, escaped cultivation and became weeds
or invasive species . The category of weeds thus is ever changing, and the term is a relative one.
CONCIEVE
Weeding is an important control method practiced in many
crops. The removal of weeds is useful because these
unwanted plants compete with the crop for space, water
and nutrients. Weeds tend to grow quickly, and they
ultimately compete with other plants for space, moisture
and nutrients. You plant your garden or yard carefully,
thinking of spacing and sun, so when a destructive, thirsty
weed enters the picture, you likely didn't account for water
and space that would be sucked up by your plants' new
neighbor. Even in terms of grass, when weeds pop up,
they're fighting your lawn for the water it so desperately
needs, particularly in the hot summer months.
DESIGN
Laser-based weeding is an ecological alternative to chemical herbicides
Our system uses multi-spectral sensors
and state of the art computer vision
algorithms to detect and classify all
plants on the field. After identifying the
weed plants, a laser beam will be used
to eliminate or to seriously damage the
weeds. In this way, value crops can grow
without the competition from weed and
have higher yields because all available
nutrients do not have to be shared.
IMPLEMENT
Laser beams, if directed towards weeds, can be used as an effective weed
control method. They can deliver high-density energy on selected spots, which
will burn the plant tissue, leading to the death of the plant. The above sketch
describes the three main parts of the system: data acquisition from cameras,
image analysis (image processing and plant detection) and laser system.
Our technology’s advantages are:
❖ it is eco-friendly.
❖ it is accurate and effective.
❖ it does not depend on soil conditions.
weeds do not develop tolerances.
OPERATE
This laser beam will scan and
detect the weed that disturbs
other plant growth. The laser will
burn the weed until the root and
this method is very effective. This
laser will not harm the nutrient
contained in the soil.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, we can tell that weeding is important because it
can harm nutrients in another plant. In this day, many
technologies were made to solve this problem. We choose the
laser method because it uses less energy and did not harm the
plant. This method also can use in small farm or bigger. We
suggested this method for all farmer because it is easy to use.
Weeding should be done 2-3 times, whenever weeds start to
grow again. Weed should be controlled in the initial stage.
