Autonomous spraying in pomefruit orchards

Abstract

Crop protection with traditional spray equipment costs much time. Most of the time is spent on ‘driving around’ in the orchard, as every tree row must be sprayed separately. If
tree spraying could be done with an autonomous driving machine this would save much precious labour time. A further integration of such an autonomous driving system
could potentially also be integrated with current developments in the field of sensor spraying. With sensor spraying switching on and off of spray nozzle can be managed based
on awareness of leaf canopy. Spray volume can be adapted based on canopy density and switching Fine/Coarse nozzles and amount of air assistance based on the position relative to vulnerable areas like ditches and housing.
