Pesticides, fungicides and herbicides accounts for a large global market for decades. But with the increased regulatory requirements for safer agricultural chemicals, for that occupational exposure to herbicides (paraquat) increases the risk of Parkinson's disease, and that an additive to Roundup (adjuvants) kills cells in vitro, some researchers turn to gene engineering and bio-based herbicides. But Jonas Carlsson, the managing director of JCS Europe AB, a Swedish company dedicated to innovations in agricultural machinery, who boycotts herbicide and concentrates on organic agriculture all the time, putting forward a cutting system based on his research of physical differences between his crops and the weed, removing weeds through sensing the form, shape and texture of them. His prototype created with JTI (The Swedish Institute for Agricultural and Environmental Engineering) obtained a patent for 32 countries, which is very promising. The new cutting machine reduces the time and efforts needed for farming, not only improving the productivity of organic agriculture, but also bringing new competitive edge for local entrepreneurs.
农药、杀菌剂和除草剂在全球市场上占据了多年的重要地位。然而,随着对更安全的农药的监管要求增加,除草剂(Paraquat)的职业暴露增加了患帕金森病的风险,而添加剂(辅助剂)在体外杀死了细胞,一些研究人员开始转向基因工程和基于生物的除草剂。但是,瑞典欧洲JCS公司公司的总经理乔纳斯·卡尔松(Jonas Carlsson)一直抵制除草剂,专注于有机农业,并提出了一种基于他对作物和杂草之间物理差异的研究的割草系统,通过感知杂草的形状、轮廓和质地来消除杂草。他与瑞典农业与环境工程研究所(JTI)合作开发的原型获得了32个国家的专利,前景非常有希望。这种新型割草机减少了耕作所需的时间和精力,不仅提高了有机农业的生产力,还为地方企业家带来了新的竞争优势。
