Abstract: The main aim of the implementation is the agriculture system by spraying the herbicides to the unnecessary weeds present in the farm field. Weed present in the field reduces the quantity and the quality of the crops and reduce the profit of the farmers. Almost all the Indians are dependent on Agriculture and up to 70% of the population depends on the Agriculture directly or indirectly. In India, 349 million acres of area are under cultivation. India is the top 7th net exporting nation across the globe in the Agricultural Goods, thus Agriculture plays a key role in the Indian Economics. Agriculture is a backbone of human life. In this paper we implemented image processing using MATLAB to detect the weed areas in an image of farm fields
