Weed Density Mapping
Weed Density Mapping is a spatial survey pipeline for measuring and mapping weed distributions across fields to support targeted herbicide application and management decisions. Developed by Gerhards, Christensen, and others in precision agriculture (2000s), this method combines field sampling or remote sensing with geostatistics to create weed pressure maps, enabling variable-rate control strategies.
