  • The pilot automated strip-cropping work with a standard tractor, seed drill, sprayer, fertilizer spreader and other conventional implements.
  • A broad set of implements was successfully robotized and deployed during the single-season trial.
  • The fieldwork produced an autonomy specification based on operational results, while wildlife damage limited agronomic outcome measurement.

Agreenculture develops an autonomy kit for agricultural machinery. The Toulouse company combines positioning, perception, control and safety hardware so equipment manufacturers and farm operators can convert tractors and implements into autonomous field systems.
