Re-equipment of sprayers
Equip your sprayer with sectional disconnection and spill monitoring. Avoid excessive application of CPPs by controlling sections and nozzles
Sprayers are used in key operations during the production season — application of pesticides and fertilization of crops. The operation of sprayers during operations must be precise and controlled as much as possible to ensure effective application. This approach ensures the high-quality conditions for development of plants and directly affects the actual yield.
A non-automated trailed sprayer with a working width of 18 meters can work with a productivity of 12-15 ha/hour. The use of an autopilot system will increase its productivity by 50-70%, as well as improve the quality of the operation of machinery at night and in foggy conditions. Rotation sensors, tractor position sensors and a powerful processor allow you to get the maximum accuracy of movement in the field — from 2 centimeters.
360 Guide system uses probes and sensors to determine the exact position of the sprayer in the row, receives GPS coordinates of the sprayer, adjusts this data and sends the information to the steering controller. Your navigation system will now operate on the corrected signals, which will increase the efficiency of the operation.
John Deere's AutoTrac RowSense allows you to cover more hectares per day, protecting the crop when applying pesticides in standing crops. The technology combines plant data from the row sensor with satellite data on the position of the equipment from StarFire receiver, which will ensure the movement of the equipment in the correct row, maintaining a constant speed and, as a result, high efficiency of operations.
The use of flow meters in combination with navigation systems makes it possible to obtain data on the actual volume of application of the solution at each point of movement of the sprayers. You will be able to understand how effectively the operation was carried out — whether the rate of application was observed, in which areas it was exceeded, and in which areas there were gaps.
The effectiveness of CPP application depends heavily on weather conditions — you need to take them into account at the planning stage and monitor meteorological indicators during the operation of the equipment in the field. For this, we recommend equipping your tractor or sprayer with mobile weather sensors that will allow you to receive information in real time.
The analysis of operations allows you to evaluate the performance, whether the application rate and technology were followed, where there are growth reserves and which solutions are suitable for your farm. By analyzing images from satellites or drones, you can get a complete picture – whether the crop protection product has worked everywhere, whether there are areas with gaps, trampling, etc. It will help you work more efficiently, get predictable results and make rational decisions.
Sectional disconnection technology allows you to automate the process of supplying the substance to the sprayer, ensures minimization of overlaps and the introduction of established norms regardless of the operating speed of the machinery. Control of the nozzles makes it possible to turn on and off each of the nozzles separately and to increase the efficiency of CPP application.
Control of CPP spraying based on pressure sensors allows to increase the efficiency and accuracy of application. The technological solution of Hawkeye with the help of a system of valves allows you to supply the CPP to each nozzle, ensures uniform spraying at turns and when changing the speed of the equipment, reduces splashing of CPPs.
Thanks to the vertical positioning and the use of multidirectional nozzles, 360 UNDERCOVER® enters the rows without damaging the crops. With 360 UNDERCOVER®, you can direct fungicide, insecticide or nutrients to where they are most needed – even under the leaf. This provides an precise localized effect of CPPs, neutralizes diseases and pests.
360 Y-DROP allows you to feed crops with potassium-ammonia mixture in V4-V6 and V10-VT phases directly in a zone of up to 5 cm around the stem — right above the root system of the plant. Accurate application ensures nitrogen use efficiency and increases crop yield.
The 360 GLIDE system uses a mechanical rod sensor to support automatic positioning of the 360 Y-DROP base. Thanks to this, the supply hoses at a right angle deliver nitrogen directly to the plant, ensuring optimal placement of the fertilizer.
The system allows you to get a complete picture of health and quality of cultivated crops by means of a PnP device, scans and analyzes plants while the tractor is moving across the field, and creates task maps for fertilizer application. Field analyzer allows to increase the efficiency of fertilizer application.
First of all, the modernization and re-equipping of the sprayer will enable you to carry out high-quality application of pesticides and fertilizers. In addition, thanks to detailed analytics and management of the operation, you will be able to optimize the costs of CPPs and reduce plant trampling.
As a result of the re-equipment of sprayers, you will be able to reduce the time for the operation by up to 15%, save CPPs due to accurate aplication, and also ensure the high quality of operations.
In this case, the solution is to turn off the sections on the covered areas and control the pressure in the nozzles, which makes it possible to turn on and turn off each of the rods separately and make an even application on the turns.
Various types of sprayers can be re-equipped, but before proceeding with this, our engineers should inspect your sprayers first. In general, modernization involves both optimizing the use of existing machinery and installing additional equipment that will increase the sprayer’s efficiency and add new functionality.
The cost of re-equipment is usually calculated individually and depends on the cost of components and the complexity of modernization.
You will be able to follow the operation in real time, see the actual map and the area of the cultivated fields, the start/end time of the work, the application rate and the actual costs of pesticides and fertilizers, etc.
