Ecorobotix Revolutionizes Vegetable Farming with Ultra-High Precision Spraying

Strategic Insights -

Ecorobotix SA, a Swiss B Corporation-certified company, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone with the launch of its new 2026 crop algorithms, introducing a non-selective herbicide sprayer with unprecedented precision. This innovative breakthrough offers a sustainable solution to the economic, environmental, and societal challenges facing vegetable producers, allowing for reduced manual labor, increased profitability, and precision weed control. According to Dominique Megret, CEO, "For the first time, we are demonstrating that it is possible to use a non-selective herbicide in a sensitive crop such as broccoli with precision, targeting only weeds while protecting the crop."

Key Takeaways:

  • Ecorobotix's new algorithms enable the use of non-selective herbicides in vegetable farming with ultra-high precision, targeting weeds while protecting crops.
  • The company's Plant-by-Plant AI technology distinguishes between crops and weeds, identifying classes such as monocots and dicots within crops, allowing for more precise weed control.
  • The new algorithms cover 25 crop varieties, including broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, lettuce, and spinach, and have been successfully tested in onion and chicory crops.
  • The "Volunteer Potato" algorithm now also available in carrots, addressing the issue of potato sprouts, a major problem in vegetable farming.
  • Ecorobotix's algorithms can reduce manual labor by up to 95%, improve yields, and lower CO2 emissions.
  • The company is redefining the standards of sustainable crop protection with its ultra-high-precision spraying technology, offering producers greater control over weed control on their plots.

Statistics:

  • Ecorobotix's algorithms can reduce manual labor by up to 95%.
  • The company's technology can improve yields and lower CO2 emissions.
  • The new 2026 crop algorithms will be available for pre-orders in March, with the launch of Ultra-High Precision (UHP) spraying for non-selective herbicides in vegetable farming.
  • Ecorobotix is present in over 24 countries in Europe, the Americas, and Oceania.
