HOW DOES IT WORK?
Selective Spraying uses advanced machine learning, computer vision, and cameras mounted across the boom to detect and spray individual weeds in real time. As your sprayer moves through the field, green-on-brown technology identifies living plant material against bare soil, while green-on-green capabilities take it a step further by distinguishing weeds from crops. The system precisely activates only the necessary nozzles, allowing for targeted application of non-residual herbicides and minimizing overapplication and drift. It works seamlessly with a single-tank, single-line setup, so you maintain full broadcast spraying capability while gaining the power to selectively spray when and where it’s needed.

Single-tank, single-line simplicity so no extra plumbing or dual tank management.
Less chemical waste means more sustainable operations and reduced crop stress.
Precision application improves overall field uniformity and helps maintain clean rows.
High-resolution weed detection reduces reliance on pre-emergence herbicides and supports resistance management.
Dual-use flexibility—switch between targeted and broadcast spraying as needed.
Compatible with ExactApply™ and BoomTrac™ Pro 2 for better coverage and drift control.
