How precision seeding keeps a sugar beet field clean, from sowing to harvest<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The FD20 robot places every sugar beet seed with 8 mm GPS precision, so it knows exactly where each seed sits before it even emerges. That lets it run a first, blind weeding pass before the crop is up, cutting weed pressure by up to 50%. From there, weekly mechanical weeding continues right through canopy closure, so weeds never get the chance to flower or set seed, keeping the field clean all the way to harvest.<\/p>\n

The result: cleaner fields and up to 40% higher yields on well-suited crops. Read the full story on how precision seeding and mechanical weeding work together from sowing to harvest<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The third winner of our Photo Competition 2026 has been crowned in the category ‘Droid Living Its Best Life’.<\/p>\n

This round’s winning photo comes from Steen Andersen in Denmark, capturing the FD20 weeding in a quinoa field. Bathed in warm sunlight, the shot has real character and catches the robot at a genuinely lively moment out in the field.<\/p>\n
