How Nvidia (NVDA) and AI Can Help Farmers Fight Weeds And Invasive Plants

Agricultural fields are no less than a battlefield. Irrespective of terrain, geography and type, crops have to compete against scores of different weeds, species of hungry insects, nematodes and a broad array of diseases. Weeds, or invasive plants, aggressively compete for soil nutrients, light and water, posing a serious threat to agricultural production and biodiversity. Weeds directly and indirectly result in tremendous losses to the farm sector, which convert to billions each year worldwide. To combat these challenges, the farm sector is looking at Artificial Intelligence (AI) based solutions.
