LUXEED builds autonomous laser systems that kill weeds with lasers, no pesticides, no soil disruption, at a cost per hectare no alternative can match. Built for the weed pressure Europe faces after 2027.
LUXEED makes laserweeding affordable for small and medium-scale farms, replacing herbicides with patent-pending technology that kills weeds faster and at a lower cost per hectare than any alternative.
AI vision identifies weeds in real time, distinguishing them from crops down to the millimetre, even among slow-establishing onions and carrots.
Precision-steered lasers target each weed's growth centre with sub-millimetre accuracy, no contact with the surrounding crop.
The weed is neutralised by light alone. No herbicide, no tillage, no soil disturbance, and no resistance build-up over time.

A regulatory phase-out and a structural decline in farm labour are converging on Europe's highest-value vegetable crops, and the only chemical-free alternative isn't yet built for what follows.
200 ha of onions today means roughly 10,000 hours of manual weeding a season at €35/hour, around €4.4M over ten years. With herbicides withdrawn and weed pressure doubled, that figure approaches €12M, before counting the €200,000 lost to weeds every season even under best-in-class control.
Laserweeding is the only credible chemical-free alternative, yet no system on the market today is built for the weed densities expected after the phase-out. The timeline is fixed, growers are evaluating now, and the window is open.
LUXEED transforms laserweeding from a massive, slow, energy-hungry process built for large farms into a fast, lightweight system accessible to everyone. A modular, low-weight footprint keeps soil structure intact and minimises compaction, so the ground keeps its natural capacity to absorb and carry water.
No system currently on the market is engineered for the weed densities expected after 2027. LUXEED is built specifically for that gap.
| Farm size | Working width | Starting price |
|---|---|---|
| 50–100 ha | 1.2 m on 1.5 m bed | €140,000 |
| 100–500 ha | 3.0 m | €300,000 |
| 500+ ha | 6.75 m | €650,000 |
Take a large vegetable farm running two machines over ten years. Its total cost of ownership comes to roughly €3M — about €1.4M hardware, €100K software updates, €1.5M laser replacement and €20K crop libraries. Here is how that compares to carrying on without LUXEED:
Beyond immediate operational pain, macroeconomic shifts are expanding the addressable market, but adoption doesn't depend on them.
Agricultural robots, ~€11.6B in 2022, are projected to grow 20.6% CAGR through 2030. The automatic weeding-robot segment alone reaches $8B by 2032 at 18.7% CAGR.
The EU targets 25% of farmland organic by 2030. In 2023, 17.7M ha (10.9%) was already organic, up 3.6% year over year.
By ending chemical spraying and soil-degrading tillage, laserweeding aids carbon sequestration, opening carbon-credit revenue farmers can sell to third parties.
LUXEED turns weeding into a regenerative, profitable business: cutting costs by millions, saving crops, and restoring soil health. No herbicides. No soil disruption. Left undisturbed, soil is a living carbon sink, with the potential to capture as much CO₂ as taking over a billion cars off the road each year.
A single onion season carries 4.95 litres of herbicide per hectare. Within its first two years on the market, LUXEED will remove 0.5 million litres of herbicide from the field, residue gone from produce, soil and water.
Precision laser weeding protects yield by managing crop–weed competition for nutrients, light and water. Weed competition can cut onion yields by up to 82.2%.
Herbicide concentrations exceeded standards at up to 25% of EU surface-water sites. Eliminating herbicides removes that contamination risk entirely.
Automating labour-intensive weeding raises job quality and frees workers for skilled roles, while opening new agri-tech markets.
A lightweight design minimises soil compaction and preserves the soil's capacity to absorb and retain water, building resilience to drought and heavy rain.
Up to 25% of applied pesticides drift by air, sometimes hundreds of kilometres. Removing them protects non-target species, soil health and biodiversity.
Every metre LUXEED weeds advances Zero Hunger, Clean Water, Decent Work, Climate Action and Life on Land, simultaneously.
