Abstract

Weeds are plants that are undesirable under certain circumstances, and are basically "plants in the wrong place". Weeds need to be controlled because weeds can reduce crop quality by contaminating commodities. Weeds reduce farm productivity, invasive crops, suffocating pastures, and in some cases can be harmful to livestock. They actively compete for water, nutrients and sunlight, resulting in reduced crop yields and poor crop quality. Controlling weeds is one of the most difficult tasks in agricultural farms. Once farmers are convinced of the advantages of mechanical weeding, they are easy to adopt. Motorized agricultural weeders can not only uproot weeds between crop rows, but also keep the soil surface loose, thereby ensuring better soil aeration and water absorption. Electric weeders can reduce labor costs and save time. In the artificially operated weeder, muscle strength is required, so it cannot be operated for a long time. Traditional manual weeding methods are very time-consuming. In this battery-powered lawn mower, we use a battery-powered electric system.
