The CSA robot for easier mechanical weed control in organic bedding
Automated weed control in vegetable beds: the aim is to develop a multi-purpose and affordable robot platform specifically for vegetable cultivation on beds
Through 5G and A.I. to real-time site-specific weed control. Up to 80% less herbicides? Same agricultural yield!
June 2021 saw the first demonstration of a special chain of innovative technologies on a Belgian maize field, which over time promises dramatically more sustainable weed control.
5G demo Robovison - Weed Detection case
Weed detection via automatic drones, linked via 5G in real-time to the tractor.
Environmentally friendly control boxwood moth
Fertilization and disease control via soil bacteria?
For the prevention and control of these infections the project partners are developing new insights, concepts and innovations. Pursuant to recent European legislation (from 1/1/21 onwards), organic layer farmers are obliged to build in a minimum waiting period of 48 hours each time they use the (only permitted) allopathic medicine flubendazole.

Source-based erosion control techniques in vegetables and maize
In GOMEROS, ILVO and partners are investigating erosion control in the cultivation of vegetables and maize. They are investigating which cultivation techniques are effective.
Bio-engineers from Ghent develop biological control of fruit flies
Source directed erosion control techniques in vegetables and maize - final report
The goal of this research project is to develop innovative and environmentally friendly strategies to control this plant fungus. Research approachWe first develop a method to detect the pathogen in both soil and flax seed. Within the planned field trials, ILVO performs screening for cultivars that are resistant/tolerant for Verticillium.
