Traditional manual weed management is one of the tedious and costly operations in the complete cycle of crop
production, reasons being high labor costs, time and tedium. The herbicide use contributes to environmental pollution in
addition to other disadvantages of concern. The increasing demand for toxicant free food has become a challenge for
weed control. Hence, the mechanical weeding is gaining importance. Automation in agriculture has also improved the
mechanization input in weed management. The rapid entry of sensors, microcontroller and computing technologies in the
field has formed a foundation of agricultural autonomous guidance systems. An automated system is time effective for
field operations, avoids huge labor requirement and health drudgery issues to provide an efficient farm operation.
Generally manual tools such as khurpi (hand operated small hoe), grubber, spade, wheel hoe, push pull type of weeder are
used by farmers for the removal of inter- and intra-row weeds with higher weeding efficiency in the range of 72 to 99%
but field capacity is very low in the range of 0.001 to 0.033 ha/h. This review deliberates on the latest work being done on
mechanical weed management such as tractor operated finger weeder, torsion weeder, ECO weeder, flame weeder,
harrow and sensor-based technologies for management of inter- and intra-row weeds in crops with wider rows.
