WEEDSEEKER SYSTEM Cut Weed-Control Costs By Up To 80% Weeds drain the nutrients and water from the soil reducing yield and profits. The WeedSeeker® system helps you save on chemical costs, cut down on time and labor, and reduce the environmental impact of your field activities. The WeedSeeker system will spray only weeds, not bare ground, and is effective wherever weeds occur intermittently. The WeedSeeker system is being used in agriculture, as well as along roadsides, railroad rights-of-way, airport runways, parking lots, parks, hiking trails, etc. The possibilities are limitless. Application Farmers use WeedSeeker systems to control weeds for chem-fallow spraying, no-till field spraying, lay-by spraying, pre-plant weed spraying and post-harvest weed control by automatically spot spraying the weeds and not bare soil. WeedSeeker system use The WeedSeeker system uses advanced optics and computer circuitry to sense the presence of a weed. When a weed enters the sensor's field of view, it signals a spray nozzle to deliver a precise amount of herbicide only to that weed. Herbicide use is reduced 60% to 80% on most spray applications. Current Practices Self-propelled, utility vehicles, ATVs or pull-behind sprayers all constantly apply herbicide regardless of high or low the weed coverage. Herbicide costs are the same in either situation.
