1. Farm-level Economic Viability Site-specific Weed Management (SSWM)

Background: Site-specific weed management (SSWM) is promoted as a strategy to reduce herbicide inputs without compromising crop yield. Despite rapid advances in offline and online AI-based weed mapping, the farm-level economic viability of SSWM under real-world weed patchiness and imperfect detection remains uncertain. Methods: A grid-based (1x1m, 50x50cm and 25x25cm) economic decision model for SSWM was developed and evaluated using 31 empirical weed... M. Gandorfer, J. Pfrombeck, V. Pitsyk, D. Pannell
