  • Laserweeding increased premium-grade, single-center onions by 16% compared to herbicide-treated onions.

    Location: Idaho, United States

  • Laserweeded onions were 36% firmer than those treated with pre- and post-emergent herbicides extending storage time.

    Location: California, United States

  • Laserweeding produced 53.66 tons per acre, with 45% colossal and 40% jumbo grade processing onions.

    Location: California, United States

  • Laserweeding enabled direct seeded onions, boosting bulb diameter and weight by 200% compared to herbicide alone.

    Location: Georgia, United States

Direct Seeded Viability

Before LaserWeeder, 100% of Vidalia onions were transplanted due to lack of viable weed control for direct seeding.

This study proved LaserWeeder’s effectiveness for direct-seeded onions, comparing quality and yield with herbicide-treated onions.
