Use of a hardware-software complex for phytosanitary monitoring and chemical treatments of the Sosnowski hogweed

Abstract

A new technology for the detection and chemical treatment of the Sosnowski hogweed using neural networks and ground and air robotic systems was tested. Confirmation is obtained of the possibility of detecting invasive weeds and their state using satellite imagery and UAVs. The features of the chemical treatment of dicotyledonous plants using UAVs are investigated. The effectiveness of the weed control by chemical pesticides sprayed with UAVs was confirmed by the example of the “Graund” herbicide.
