Abstract: A laser-based weed control module (1) and a device and a method for laser-based weed control, which permit targeted control of weed plants (17) on agricultural areas (15) with high effectiveness and simultaneously high efficiency. The weed control module (1) comprises an image detection unit for providing three-dimensional image data, a laser unit (4) for generating and orienting a laser beam (5) and a data processing and control unit (6), wherein the data processing and control unit (6) contains a trained artificial intelligence that detects weed plants (17), identifies survival essential plant part of the weed plants (17) and controls the weed plants (17) by targeted laser-irradiation the survival essential plant part of the weed plants (17) in an environmentally friendly and chemical-free manner. The generated laser beam (5) has a light wavelength (?) in the range from 955 nm to 995 nm.
