Chapter synopsis: Most PWM related research activity is focused on different aspects of weed scouting and mapping, aiming to optimize the weed detection performances of various sensors and imaging platforms. It seems like other aspects of the PWM pipeline get much little attention, nonetheless, their development and implementation also offers great contribution the success of PWM and for its overall objective of minimizing herbicide application. Complementary application technologies can also facilitate PWM and improve their performances and results. This chapter aims to highlight some of the latest in the field of precise application technology.
