We’re excited to share that FarmDroid has been honored with two Agromek Stars for our innovative hybrid weeding solution! This recognition reflects our commitment to empowering farmers with technology that keeps them ahead of the curve while championing sustainability.

Our hybrid solution combines precision micro-spraying and mechanical weeding, taking agricultural innovation to new heights. With our targeted micro-spraying system, only 6% of the field is sprayed with plant protection substances, reducing chemical use by up to 94%. The rest of the field is mechanically handled by the robot’s cutting blades, knives, and discs for effective weeding.

“We’re proud to bring forward our FarmDroid +Spray system, which enables conventional farmers to maintain high yields while stepping into the future and leading the way for Danish agriculture. As we face increasing challenges with herbicide-resistant weeds and stricter regulations, mechanical weeding offers a resilient solution. We hope this concept can contribute to the future of crop production.”, says Rasmus Thuesen, Regional Sales Manager, FarmDroid

The Agromek news committee recognized the innovation’s potential to transform farming practices, awarding it two stars for its ability to dramatically cut pesticide use while ensuring precise weed control.

Farmers and industry experts can explore our award-winning innovation on display at Yding Smedie & Maskiner stand (4150, Hall E) at Agromek on November 26th – 29th.
