Field notes
The homepage separates its starting application from its longer-term targets: it says laser weeding is where it begins, then identifies selective pruning and root-sucker removal as further work. Its cost table draws on UC Davis studies from different crops and years, and explicitly warns that the figures are not a side-by-side comparison. The site also cites 2025 Cornell and Rutgers field trials when discussing laser-weeding results.
