Autonomous Agricultural Weeder
Precision Weeding, Row by Row.
Developed by Prakrithi
What the autonomous weeder is
Prakrithi's autonomous agricultural weeder is developed by Prakrithi, the agriculture, energy and environmental technology division of Miryalan Dynasty.
The machine is designed to navigate crop rows and mechanically remove weeds while reducing unnecessary disturbance to cultivated plants — reducing dependence on manual labour and herbicide application.
- Row-following navigation
- Mechanical weed removal
- Reduced disturbance to crops
- Reduced herbicide dependence
