Efficient control of weeds in a farming operation is critical. Weeds can harbor pests, use valuable nutrients, and serve as hosts for diseases that all too easily spread to the crop. Knowing where and when to apply herbicide can provide significant savings, not only in preventing damage to the crop but in minimizing the amount of product that is purchased and applied. Analytics developed with multispectral data can identify and highlight weeds, as weeds

may have a different spectral signature than the planted crop.
