The Research Progress of Intra-Row Mechanical Weeding Technology of Dry-Land

Abstract:

The farmland weeds directly affect the crops yields, and the intra-row weeds are more difficult to eliminate than inter-row weeds. With the harm of chemical weeding technology cognition by people, the growth of awareness of environmental protection consciousness and food safety, the non-chemical weeding technology get more and more attention. Mechanical weeding as a good alternative method get more attention, and the intra-row intelligent mechanical weeding technology becomes a hot spot of research. The research on intra-row intelligent mechanical weeding technology of China have a large gap compared with developed countries. In this work, the current research of intra-row mechanical weeding technology of developed countries and China was reviewed, and the development trend of intra-row intelligent mechanical weeding technology of China were prospected. The universities and research institutes should be encouraged to learn from foreign advanced technology and the design concept of intelligent weeding equipment, increase the investment in intelligent mechanical weeding technology research and promotion.
