Embodiment approach

[0046] Such as figure 1 As shown, the device 10 comprises a belt-like or rope-like structure 11 and an annular element 12 attached to the belt-like or rope-like structure 11, the elements being spaced apart from each other to meet the desired distance between the seedlings to be planted (see figure 2 ). Each annular element 12 surrounds one of the seedlings (young plants) and comprises in the upper annular region detectable means 12A, such as metal rings, detectable by means of inductive methods. In the lower region, each element 12 has a fixing element 12B, which is formed here, for example, as a tubular part which can be embedded in a soil ball (root ball of a seedling) so that the seedling is connected to the device (see image 3 ). Thus, the root of each crop P (seedling) is located in a root ball B to which a ring-shaped element with a detectable means 12A and a fixation element 12B is attached. The ribbon-like or rope-like structure 11 is preferably of elastic design...

Abstract

A fundamental problem in the field of agriculture is protecting the crop plants planted and / or sown seeds against the undesired growth of unwanted plants, colloquially known as weeds. According to theinvention, a device (10) for protecting crop plants (P) and / or sown seeds (S) against unwanted plants is provided to avoid the use of chemical weed control agents or herbicides. The device (10) comprises a strip or lace-shaped structure (11) on which a plurality of annular elements (12) are arranged at a distance from one another, wherein the structure (11) is designed to be applied to a cultivated surface (F) such that each element (12) encloses the location (O) of a crop plant (P) or sown seed (S), and wherein each element (12) comprises a detectable means (12A) for marking the location concerned (01, 02,... On) for detection by a machine for controlling mechanical weed control mechanisms. The device is thus an auxiliary or marking means which can be easily applied on the cultivated surface along the row of plants or seeds and allows reliable detection by machine of the locations of plants or seeds (zones to be protected).

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a device for protecting crops and / or sown seeds from unwanted vegetation according to the preamble of claim 1, and to a method that can be performed by the device, as well as to the preamble of the corresponding claims. equipment and machinery described in the sequence. Background technique [0002] In the field of agriculture, protecting the crop being planted and / or the seed being sown from the undesired growth of unwanted plants, also commonly referred to as weeds, is a fundamental problem. Despite their widespread use, chemical weed control agents or herbicides have adverse effects on the environment. For this reason, there is increasing interest in reducing the amount of herbicides used in agriculture worldwide. [0003] Even though purely mechanical weed control is possible without the use of herbicides, known manual methods are very laborious. In this respect, a method and a device enabling automatic mechanical control of weeds are know...
