Smart Apply Intelligent Spray Control System – Field Day

November 30, 2022 @ 12:00 pm - 3:00 pm

SMART APPLY INTELLIGENT SPRAY CONTROL SYSTEM FIELD DAY

ATTENTION: Tree Orchardists, Passionfruit and Viticulture/Table Grape producers etc – this system is ideal for Spray Applications in Vertical Crops

30th November 2022 – 12:00pm to 15:00pm.

900 Farnsfield Rd, Farnsfield (opposite Maranos Rd)

LUNCH –– WHAT IT CAN DO, SAVINGS –– DEMONSTRATION –– DISCUSS

 

Initial testing shows a 75% application saving in recently established Macadamia plantations (decreasing as trees mature to full canopy closure, but still saving).

Lidar based section control system – targets spray application on foliage and canopy… not thin air.

Chemical, labour, machine hours & maintenance savings… as well as environmental stewardship benefits.

 

Nothing beats seeing and hearing for yourself – so come and chat with the team about the “Smart Apply” system capabilities, applications, and potential savings to be made.  But to whet your appetite, check out these videos of the system in action:
