Alternative weed control in fruit and wine growing based on autonomous technologies
Abstract
As a result of increasingly strict legislation on the use of pesticides, especially glyphosate, and pressure from society, alternative methods of weed control in permanent crops such as orchards and vineyards are gaining in importance. In a transnational cooperation, alternatives in weed management are therefore to be developed. In Bavaria, the project "Alternative weed management in fruit and wine growing with ecologically harmless substances and an alternative mulching method based on renewable raw materials - ABOW", submitted by the Technology and Promotion Centre in the Competence Centre for Renewable Resources (TFZ) Straubing together with the State Institute for Viticulture and Horticulture Veitshöchheim, was launched in January 2019. An Austrian project focusing on the development of an autonomous device and alternative substances in weed management was launched in summer 2019. In this project, the Institute of Plant Protection is investigating whether alternative natural substances and the sprayable mulch films developed in Bavaria have sufficient weed suppression.
