Farmers frequently use broadcast applications of herbicides to eradicate weeds, some of which have developed resistance to the chemicals as a result of continuous use, in order to stop the spread of undesirable plants.
Deep learning convolutional neural networks (CNNs), a cutting-edge smart technology that can identify weeds and provide farmers with the information they need to apply agrochemicals in a more targeted manner, are being used by the Mechanized Systems Research Team at Dalhousie University to address the concerns in cultivation of blueberries.
