Robocrop Electric Weeder

DESCRIPTION

Robocrop Electric Weeder is an Agricultural-Robots from Garford Farm Machinery. It is built for Agriculture. Key figures: released 2026.

The Robocrop Electric Weeder is Garford's vision-guided electric weeding machine for high-value vegetable and ornamental crops, built with technology from electric-weeding specialist Rootwave. It kills weeds with high-voltage, high-frequency AC electricity: current passes through the targeted weed and returns through the soil, so the root is treated as well and the effect is systemic. The treatment unit is mounted on a Robocrop vision-guided toolbar with Garford's disc steer and Free-Shift system, so the inter-row zones are treated with high precision. The high voltage is generated on board by a PTO-driven generator, and Rootwave power electronics actively manage voltage, current and frequency. Six pairs of treatment electrodes are managed individually, so the treatment adapts to varying weed pressure and soil conditions across the working width. The method uses no chemicals, suits conventional and organic production, and disturbs the soil only minimally. For production year 2026 Garford offers 60 kW machines with front-mounted guided toolbars, configurable for raised-bed and flat-field systems up to 3 m working width.
