What does precision weeding look like in practice? On an organic onion farm in northern France, managed by Philippe Vieville, FarmDroid reduced manual labour by up to 200 hours per hectare. With precise seeding and early mechanical weeding, the robot helps keep fields clean and reduces the need for extensive hand work throughout the season.
In this article, you can see how FarmDroid is used in daily operations and what that means for workload, planning, and results in the field.
Thinking about precision farming but wondering what actually happens after you buy a FarmDroid?
From the first contact to clean fields and confident operation, we have mapped out the full journey step by step.
Learn how farmers go from curiosity to autonomous seeding and early weed control, and why mindset, field prep, and planning make all the difference.
The new +Seed 14 mm seeding system expands the range of crops a FarmDroid robot can handle. It now supports larger seeds such as maize, green beans and peas. All with the same 8 mm GPS seeding precision.
New weeding tools for mechanical weeding have been upgraded to work in varying soil conditions while protecting gentle plants in the weeding process:
On his organic farm, Nils Maßmann faced a classic challenge with too much work and too few hands. Hoeing maize and potatoes often overlapped, so he started looking for smarter solutions. That search led him to FarmDroid.
Today, the robot saves him precious working hours, delivers precise seeding in maize and lets him explore new crops like onions, beetroot and carrots. Nils highlights the strong community, fast support and the excitement of testing what else the robot can handle.

Our brand new +Seed 14 mm seeding system, which now also can handle e.g. maize, green beans and peas with the same robot precision.
At a time when herbicide options are becoming increasingly limited, Jack Simons faced a critical choice: stop growing chicory or embrace innovation. He chose the latter and invested in the FarmDroid FD20.
Next year, he plans to use the robot for both chicory and sugar beet and this is only the beginning. Sustainability and efficiency, all in one solution.

Tjele Gods in Denmark, which operates an organic dairy farm with 93 hectares of fodder beets, invested in a FarmDroid back in 2022. After seeing the positive impact, they have now chosen to invest in 4 additional robots for the 2025 season.
“FarmDroid has helped boost our fodder beets yields. Its precision and guided control based on RTK GPS allow us to grow a truly competitive crop,” says farm manager Steffen Rohde Døssing.

For Gert Sterenborg and his family, staying at the forefront of modern agriculture means embracing new innovations. When they set out to improve their chicory cultivation in the Netherlands, they discovered FarmDroid 🤖 —a robotic technology they now consider the most advanced in agriculture. While ideal for organic farming, Gert has seen FarmDroid’s benefits for conventional farming too, especially with the +Spray system.
After using FarmDroid FD20 on 17 hectares in 2024, he’s gearing up for an even more optimized 2025 season—with less spraying, more precise hoeing, and higher yields.
