The invention relates to compounds of formula (I), and their use as herbicides. In said formula, Rto Rrepresent groups such as hydrogen, halo-gen or organic groups such as alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or alkoxy; X is a bond or a divalent unit; Y is hydrogen, cyano, hydroxyl or a linear or cyclic organic group. The invention further refers to a composition comprising such compound and to the use thereof for controlling unwanted vegetation.

Beta-lactams and their use as herbicides

The present invention relates to microcapsules comprising a core, wherein the core comprises cinmethylin, and a polyurea shell, wherein the shell comprises a polyaddition product of diphenylmethane diisocyanate or an oligomer thereof and at least one amine having at least two primary amino groups; to a composition comprising such microcapsules; to a method for preparing such microcapsules or such a composition; to a composition obtainable by said preparation method; and to the use of such microcapsules or compositions for controlling undesired vegetation.

Microcapsules comprising cinmethyln in the core and a polyurea derived from diphenylmethane diisocyanate or an oligomer thereof

A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computer system () for determining the impact of herbicides on crop plants () in an agricultural field (). The system includes an interface () to receive an image () with at least one crop plant representing a real world situation in the agricultural field () after herbicide application. An image pre-processing module () rescales the received image () to a rescaled image () matching the size of an input layer of a first fully convolutional neural network (CNN) referred to as the first CNN. The first CNN is trained to segment the rescaled image () into crop () and non-crop () portions, and provides a first segmented output () indicating the crop portions () of the rescaled image with pixels belonging to representations of crop. A second fully convolutional neural network (CNN), referred to as the second CNN, is trained to segment said crop portions into a second segmented output () with one or more sub-portions () with each sub-portion including pixels associated with damaged parts of the crop plant showing a respective damage type (--). A damage measurement module () determines a damage measure () for the at least one crop plant for each damage type (--) based on the respective sub-portions of the second segmented output () in relation to the crop portion of the first segmented output ().

System and method for determining damage on crops

A computer-implemented method, computer program product and computer system () for identifying weeds in a crop field using a dual task convolutional neural network () having a topology with an intermediate module () to execute a classification task being associated with a first loss function (LF), and with a semantic segmentation module () to execute a segmentation task with a second different loss function (LF). The intermediate module and the segmentation module are being trained together, taking into account the first and second loss functions (LF, LF). The system executes a method including receiving a test input () comprising an image showing crop plants of a crop species in an agricultural field and showing weed plants of one or more weed species among said crop plants; predicting the presence of one or more weed species () which are present in the respective tile; outputting a corresponding intermediate feature map to the segmentation module as output of the classification task; generating a mask for each weed species class as segmentation output of the second task by extracting multiscale features and context information from the intermediate feature map and concatenating the extracted information to perform semantic segmentation; and generating a final image () indicating for each pixel if it belongs to a particular weed species, and if so, to which weed species it belongs.
