This small robot combats crop diseases not with chemicals, but with light: UVC radiation keeps fungi such as powdery mildew under control. Wagus is designed to protect virtually any horticultural crop grown in open fields, including both vegetables and flowers. It is currently being used by lily bulb growers in the Netherlands at Veninga Hijken in Drenthe, a region where flower growers are actively working to reduce the use of chemical pesticides

This unmanned tractor drives autonomously into the field and controls its own implements, including a plow. For the grower, this means tilling and other work can be done without anyone behind the wheel, and thanks to the low ground pressure of the heaviest model (T2 7, under 30 kPa), the soil structure remains intact.

Instead of building a new sprayer from scratch, BBLeap integrates its camera and software technology into the field sprayers already manufactured by major manufacturers. This allows growers to continue using their trusted sprayers while still applying the right amount per plant rather than across the entire field.

Instead of spraying or hoeing, this machine burns weeds with a laser—plant by plant, without chemicals and without creating a seedbed. It has been in practical use since May 2026 among chicory growers in Flevoland. At a price per hectare that is becoming attractive even for conventional farms.

Dynamobot does not build new sprayers, but instead retrofits a grower’s existing mounted field sprayer with camera-controlled nozzles—regardless of brand or year of manufacture, making it universally applicable. It turns the existing spray nozzles on and off individually based on what the cameras detect as weeds.

A robust drone that, despite its compact size, can still spread 10 hectares of clover seed per hour without putting any strain on the soil. Ideal for wet fields or soil you’d rather not drive over; its use for crop protection is currently restricted by regulations in the Netherlands.

A weeding machine with many mechanical arms that knock weeds out with a thin wire—even between plants in rows, if there is enough space. No chemical costs, and the chassis adapts to uneven ground.

A robust, fully electric tractor that, thanks to its lifting mechanism and PTO, can easily handle existing implements. This provides growers with autonomous traction without emissions, powered by an onboard 150 kWh battery pack.

Places beet seeds precisely into the soil one by one and remembers the exact location of each seed, so that the area can be hoed later without damaging the seedlings. It runs entirely on solar power, so it sows and weeds in one go without having to return to the field to refuel—suitable for plots ranging from 20 to 30 hectares.

It uses cameras to track the row of plants and hoes as close as possible to them, even between the plants themselves. This tackles weeds right next to the crop where a regular hoe cannot reach, and—thanks to the interchangeable hoe heads—works on over a hundred different crops.

An Austrian spraying technology that uses cameras to precisely identify where weeds are located and applies a drop of pesticide only there, rather than treating the entire field. It is now listed on the Dutch DRT list with the highest drift reduction class (95%) and can be used both for full-field application and in combination with a hoeing machine.

This robot drives autonomously through the field and uses a weeding blade to nip weeds in the bud; it can be used on a wide range of row-cropped plants. Six solar panels on the roof charge the batteries so effectively during the day that the machine can continue operating at night—meaning 24/7 weeding. With a track width of 1.5 meters, it is primarily designed for light work between plants.

Drive across the seed potato field and let cameras under a light hood scan for abnormal potatoes, which are then marked with a dye. The grower no longer has to assess thousands of tubers by hand—this sorting process requires far fewer people and much less time.

This tracked robot drives autonomously through the tulip field, using cameras to detect diseased plants and treat them immediately. There are now over a hundred of them in operation, so this has not been a pilot project for years—it’s now standard practice.

It drives autonomously through the crop and applies herbicide plant by plant, rather than treating an entire area as a spot sprayer does. This saves up to 95% on herbicide and has fewer side effects on the crop, as it follows the contours of the leaves.

A compact, electric robot weighing barely 150 kilograms that independently hoes and fertilizes among the crops. In the Netherlands, it’s mainly used by horticulturalists, fruit growers, and tree growers; abroad, it’s already being used for sowing as well—with dozens of interchangeable tools, it can be used on virtually any small plot of land.

It’s not a machine that you, as a grower, purchase yourself, but rather the navigation software that other robot manufacturers install under the hood of their machines. So, as a crop farmer, you notice the effect indirectly: thanks to this platform, the robot you do purchase drives and navigates more intelligently and reliably.

It removes weeds from the ground with a small grapple and millimeter precision, often pulling them out root and all, without the use of chemicals. In the Netherlands, more than forty of these machines are now in operation, particularly among organic growers, and the machine can operate day and night.

Weed control is performed using a laser while the weeds are still in the early two-leaf stage. There is a narrow version and a wide version, making the system scalable from a small plot to a large area of arable land.

It identifies weeds using cameras and then eliminates them with a laser beam—no chemicals, no tillage. This technology is already being used in organic farming and achieves up to a 95% reduction in weeds on the nine vegetable crops and three bulb crops for which the system has been trained.

Not a new machine, but a set of eight cameras that is being installed on an existing sorting wagon. While driving, the cameras automatically scan for diseases such as the Y virus to help remove diseased seed potatoes.
