DAT is transforming precision spraying in cereals with its AI-driven EcoPatch system, enabling real-time weed detection and reducing herbicide use by around 45%.
Conventional cereal farming still relies on blanket spraying, applying herbicides across entire fields regardless of actual weed pressure. This leads to unnecessary chemical use, higher costs for farmers, and increasing resistance in weed populations. DAT, a Norwegian precision farming company, has developed an AI-powered vision system – the EcoPatch – that detects weeds within dense cereal canopies and enables targeted patch spraying based on real field conditions. By treating only affected areas rather than whole fields, DAT’s technology reduces herbicide use by around 45%, while improving farm economics and supporting more precise, lower-input crop production.
