Techniques for treating an area with both crop plants and weeds involves applying a treatment to both the crop plants and the weeds to increase contrast between the crop plants and the weeds. For example, a non-lethal dose of herbicide may be applied to an area with both weeds and a crop to increase contrast in color, morphology, or both. The weeds may then be detected using artificial intelligence (AI) object detection, and an automated sprayer can then apply a second targeted treatment to the weeds based on the AI object detection. The first treatment to both the crops and the weeds that increased contrast between the crops and weeds enables higher accuracy object detection and therefore improves the performance of the automated sprayer. 1.

A chitosan solution is formed from chitin, which is a homopolymer of beta (1-4)-linked N-acetyl-D-glucosamine. Rinsed, dried and ground chitin undergoes a process of deacetylation to convert some N-acetyl glucosamine to glucosamine, a primary component of chitosan. The chitosan solution is prepared by mixing 5 chitosan with an alpha-hydroxy acid such as glycolic acid. An aqueous chelated silver solution is prepared by mixing silver oxide with a carboxylic acid such as citric acid. The chitosan solution can then be mixed with the silver solution resulting in a cationic complex. The cationic complex of the present invention may then be electrostatically bonded with generally negatively charged surfaces. In use, citrate promotes uptake of the silver by microbes.
