Actually, an
intelligent combination of control techniques
might be sensible.
With herbicide resistant crops, any species-specifi c application can be put aside. But
a site-specifi c application still might substantially save herbicides and reduce the
impact on the environment. And with crops that are not resistant to herbicides, it
might be wise to supplement the site- and species specifi c application as dealt with
in the sections above with occasional or partial weed control by robots. Because it
will hardly be possible to take into account all kinds of weeds in a species- specifi c
application.
Anyway, the variety of feasible control techniques will largely allow to dispense
with
soil cultivation
as a means for weed killing.
