How good is modern agricultural technology really? We are testing the AI field sprayer on the onion field of farmer Bernd Brun from Münsterland. With the help of a camera and AI, the field sprayer can decide between weeds and crops and then sprays a pesticide specifically on the unwanted plant. The manufacturer's promise: 95% less use of pesticides! We want to test this and do the math. You can see how the spot sprayer works, what effects it has on the field and whether it's worth buying in a new episode of WDR Lokalzeit Land.Schafft.! ____ Table of contents: 00:00 Precision field sprayer 00:51 Problem: Weeds in the onion field 01:19 Conventional field sprayer 02:15 Spot sprayer in the field 03:16 How the AI field sprayer works 04:36 Why did Bernd buy this expensive device? 05:22 Sealing the soil with a conventional field sprayer 06:21 Why is this necessary? 07:09 Spot Sprayer: Consumption of pesticides 07:59 Results in the onion field 08:50 Conclusion of the test ____ Check out our video about a farmer testing an alternative to chemical weed killers here: • Farmer tests alternative to chemicals... . ____ You can find even more interesting topics from agriculture on our website: https://1.ard.de/landwirtschaft ____ We are #Lokalzeit Land.Schafft., the WDR YouTube channel where people with agriculture in their DNA are at home!
