Kverneland has updated its iXtrack T4 sprayer with DAT camera technology, a precision tool for patch spraying.
This recognises and categorises weeds in cereals and oilseed rape, when weeds are recognised by the camera, a signal is sent to the Kverneland field sprayer and the appropriate nozzles are activated, up until a speed of 10 km/hr.
The system is built on pragmatism, relying on the agronomic principle of weeds growing in patches, which means a cost-effective solution.
The system is activated by clicking a button on the IsoMatch Tellus PRO or GO+ or any other AEF certified terminal. Automatically, the weed will be recognised and the nozzles are turned on and off.
The data, such as as-applied data and weed heat maps will be directly available and can be used directly in combination with for example IsoMatch FarmCentre for further analysis.
The company claims that the system can deliver reductions of herbicide use of up to 58%.
