Lasers can detect plants so only targeted plants get sprayed with pesticides

Pesticides are used to increase yield, but unfortunately, they also negatively impacts the environment.

Using as little pesticides as possible is important to limit this negative impact as much as possible.

This can for example be done using lasers.

Lasers can sense the positions of plants that need to be sprayed and make sure that pesticides are only sprayed on plants that are targeted, not on other plants around them.

In this article, I explain more about how lasers can be used to reduce pesticide use:
