WEEDSEEKER SYSTEM

Product catalog summary
Overview
The WeedSeeker® system is designed to significantly reduce weed-control costs by up to 80% by targeting only the weeds and not the bare ground. This system is applicable in various settings including agriculture, roadsides, and public spaces.

Application
The system is used for various agricultural practices such as chem-fallow spraying, no-till field spraying, and post-harvest weed control. It automatically spot sprays weeds, reducing the need for manual labor.

Technology
The WeedSeeker system employs advanced optics and computer circuitry to detect weeds and apply herbicide precisely, reducing herbicide use by 60% to 80% compared to traditional methods.

Current Practices
Traditional methods involve constant herbicide application regardless of weed density, leading to higher costs.

Benefits
  • Reduces chemical costs by up to 80%
  • Eliminates the need for manual spot spraying
  • Environmentally friendly and reduces spray drift
  • Operates day or night and retrofits existing equipment
  • Targets only green plants, not bare soil
  • Helps combat herbicide-resistant weeds


Equipment
The system includes WeedSeeker Model 650 or 655 sensors mounted on booms up to 150 ft. Each sensor covers a 12" or 15" section and operates independently at speeds up to 10 mph, with options for higher speeds.

Operation
The system can be integrated with standard pumps and tanks, allowing for retrofitting existing spray booms or purchasing new ones.

WEEDSEEKER SYSTEM-1

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.
