Weeds Ag Tech Demo Day

Participate in hands-on demonstrations of weed identification, mapping and targeted spraying technologies relevant to local farming systems.

Join the GRDC for a practical, hands-on demonstration of weed identification, mapping and targeted spraying technologies relevant to local farming systems. The day has been developed in response to grower feedback calling for practical capability building, easier integration of AgTech with existing machinery, and clearer understanding of how data can be turned into useful on-farm decisions.

What you will see

• Drone demonstration: see a live drone demonstration focused on identifying and mapping weeds in-crop (marshmallow in lentils).
• Weed mapping: follow the process of converting drone imagery into a weed map that identifies weed locations and priority patches.
• Data collection and interpretation: data collection, processing and interpreted, plus map development.
• From map to sprayer: preparing and uploading weed maps or prescription files into a compatible sprayer system, including file formats, setup and machinery integration.
• Using the data for spot spraying: see how mapped weed data can be used to guide targeted or spot spraying.
