Farmers have long relied on traditional weeding methods, including herbicides, mechanical weeding, and manual weeding. Each type of weed control presents challenges. Herbicides can affect crop health, mechanical weeding can damage plants, and labor is expensive and hard to find. Laserweeding is an innovative, reliable and sustainable solution for farmers and has proven effective on more than a dozen crops. Carbon Robotics LaserWeeder leverages robotics , artificial intelligence (AI) and laser technology to safely and effectively identify, detect and remove weeds.
Unlike other weeding technologies, robots use high-powered lasers to eradicate weeds using thermal energy, without disturbing the soil. The LaserWeeder allows farmers to use fewer herbicides and reduces labor to remove unwanted plants while improving reliability and predictability of costs, crop yields and more.
In February, agricultural robotics company Carbon Robotics introduced its LaserWeeder implement, a cost-effective weed control solution for large-scale specialty row crops, according to a company news release.
It consists of an auto Brazil Mobile Number List nomous laser-pulled agricultural robot that attaches seamlessly to the back of tractors to cut , weeds per hour with laser. This is , more than when it was first introduced in

Proven benefits for growing weeds
“We have proven the effectiveness of our laser weeding technology and the immense benefits it offers farmers, including healthier crops and soils, reduced herbicide use, and lower chemical and labor costs,” the CEO said. and founder of Carbon Robotics, Paul Mikesell.
“To better meet the needs of farmers, we have adapted the design of our agricultural robot , but we will continue to leverage our proven laser weeding technology . “Our mission has always been to provide farmers with the most effective tools, and the strong demand for LaserWeeders is evidence that we are helping them solve a serious problem.”
The new agricultural robot features industrial CO lasers, more than times the lasers in Carbon Robotics' autonomous LaserWeeder. Growers who use the device realize up to percent savings on weed management costs, with a breakeven period of two to three years.
Better yet, the new model of the agricultural robot integrates effortlessly into existing agricultural infrastructures while covering more ground and solving problems associated with spraying, manual weeding and mechanical weeding.
The agricultural robot also features sophisticated artificial intelligence technology that allows the robot to instantly identify, target and remove weeds using thermal energy while rolling continuously. Additionally, it has a lighting system that allows the LaserWeeder to operate day or night in almost all weather conditions.
“Grimmway Farms is dedicated to protecting natural resources and the environment while optimizing crop yields and soil health,” said Jeff Morrison, director of innovation and new technologies for Grimmway Farms.
“We are constantly improving our processes and evaluating new equipment to support our commitment to this mission. When we heard about Carbon Robotics' laser weeding technology , we were eager to implement it on our farms. “This revolutionary approach to weeding has the potential to deliver precision, reliability and cost-effectiveness in organic weeding that was previously unavailable, making it an ideal weed management solution.”
Traditional methods harmful to crops and the environment
For many years, farmers have relied on traditional weeding methods, such as herbicides, mechanical weeding and manual weeding, which damage both the environment and crops. Laserweeding offers a reliable and sustainable option for farmers to combat weeds without harming their environment or the climate.
“Securing farm labor continues to be an increasing challenge, so we are always looking for ways to automate our processes,” said Josh Roberts, president and general manager of Triangle Farms in Salinas, California.
« The LaserWeeder automates one of the most demanding, expensive and time-consuming tasks on the farm: weeding. The implement design is familiar and easy to integrate into daily operations, while streamlining weed maintenance, providing consistency that farmers value and trust to support the growth of our businesses.”
