Description
Summary:High-level pest control has high priority in the competitive agriculture. Within the pest control the weed management has the highest priority in a way of agronomy and economy. In our research we examined different weed management technologies in a way of income considering yield and costs in corn production. Prime factors were the whole field spraying and the band spraying at sowing complemented with in-row cultivation. In the Hungarian agriculture the practice of precision farming technology is spreading. The great importance of the precision farming technology is the reduction of environmental damage and to preserve the soil productivity. The aim of this study is to make analysis about material and operational costs of the precision weed management technology according to the traditional/conventional technologies in both cases mentioned above.
