Discrimination of Weeds in Cotton Fields in Sikasso

Bourama COULIBALY | Dr Kya Abraham Berthe | Dr Awa Soronf Doumbia | Dr. Bernard Sidibe

Abstract: The identification of weeds in the Sikasso area has led to targeted spraying. The choice of the spraying period was specified by the local weather station, which gives the climatic parameters of the field more precisely the soil moisture parameters. The Gospectro is shipped on the front of a compatible Galaxy Smartphone. The image is analyzed in real time to identify weeds from the rest of the agronomic scene and then to separate the weeds from the crop in the field. The Gospectro is a device that transforms a smartphone or digital tablet equipped with a camera into an ultra-compact and powerful spectrometer. It is sensitive over the entire visible range (400nm-750nm) and can measure emission spectra, transmission or reflection.
