Case Study: German Farmer Friedrich Wenninger achieves 16% herbicide savings with Agremo precision weed detection

German Farmer Friedrich Wenninger saves 16.5% on herbicide with Agremo

Friedrich Wenninger, a German farmer, faced the challenge of managing weed pressure in his sugar beet crops while trying to reduce costly herbicide applications. He partnered with Agremo, using their AI-driven weed detection analysis and Variable Rate Spraying Tool to precisely identify weed stress levels across his fields.

Agremo's solution utilized a drone with an RGB sensor to map the fields and create targeted application zones. This allowed Friedrich to apply herbicide at variable rates, precisely matching the dose to the weed pressure in each area. The result was a 16.5% reduction in herbicide costs, saving €11.55 per hectare on a single treatment while maintaining effective weed control.
