• The objectives of the study were
• to define the evaluation criteria for physical
  weed control within sugar beet rows and close to
  individual sugar beet plants.

Evaluation criteria - Weed control efficiency -
Ability to target weeds - Resolution - Work
rate - Auxiliary rate - Energy - Applicability -
Material costs

• to review present and describe possible physical
  weeding tools (24 weeding tools/methods studied).

• to select weeding tools suitable for further
  machine developments within the context of an
  autonomous weeding application.

• Procedure
• The Pahl and Beitzs concept selection matrix
  (CSM) analysis was carried out for the evaluation
  and selection of most qualified physical methods
  based on defined evaluation criteria.
