Sustainable Cotton Crop Productivity through Precision Weed Detection: A Deep Learning-Based Approach with UAV Integration
Abstract: Weeds present a major challenge to crop productivity by competing with crops for vital resources, including water, sunlight, and nutrients, often resulting in significant yield reductions. On a global scale, weeds are responsible for approximately 13.2% of annual crop losses, a quantity sufficient to feed nearly one billion people. These invasive plants disrupt agricultural systems and adversely impact crop yields. Given their uneven distribution in fields, ground or aerial robots …
