Jul 01, 2024

Cutting-Edge Technology for Improved Spraying Efficiency

John Deere's Precision Sprayer Upgrades offer a range of innovative solutions to optimize your spraying operations.

Let's delve into the features and benefits of these cutting-edge technologies available on model year 2018 and newer R Series sprayers.

Pressure Recirculation and Product Reclaim technology allows for efficient product usage by reclaiming excess spray back into the tank, minimizing waste and environmental impact.

This feature ensures precise application while conserving resources, says John Deere’s precision upgrades marketing manager, Kyle Barry.

For enhanced control and precision, John Deere offers various nozzle options, including Individual Nozzle Control (INC) Pro and Individual Nozzle Control (INC) HD.

These options allow users to manage individual nozzles for precise application, optimizing spray coverage and reducing overspray.

The ExactApply technology is equipped with six nozzle options on one nozzle body, along with pulsing solenoids for precise modulation. This system offers superior control and flexibility, ensuring accurate application even in challenging conditions.

See and Spray Premium, compatible with 2018 and newer sprayers, offers targeted weed control with BoomTrac Pro 2. Equipped with 36 cameras and vision processing units, this system enables precise herbicide application, reducing herbicide usage by up to 50%.

John Deere's sprayer upgrade options provide R Series owners with a path to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and achieve more precise application, ultimately leading to increased productivity and cost savings.

Video: Why Invest in Canada’s Seed Future? | On The Brink: Episode 3

Darcy Unger just invested millions to build a brand-new seed plant on his farm in Stonewall, Manitoba so when it’s time for his sons to take over, they have the tools they need to succeed.

Right now, 95% of the genetics they’ll be growing come from Canadian plant breeders.

That number matters.

When fusarium hit Western Canada in the late 90s, it was Canadian breeders who responded, because they understood Canadian conditions. That ability to react quickly to what’s happening on Canadian farms is exactly what’s at risk when breeding programs lose funding.

For farmers like Darcy, who have made generational investments based on the assumption that better genetics will keep coming, the stakes are direct and personal.

We’re on the brink of decisions that will shape our agricultural future for not only our generation, but also the ones to come.

What direction will we choose?

On The Brink is a year-long video series traveling across Canada to meet the researchers, breeders, farmers, seed companies, and policymakers shaping the future of Canadian plant breeding. Each week, a new story. Each story, a piece of the bigger picture.

Episode 3 is above. Follow Seed World Canada to catch every episode, and tell us: Do you think the next generation will have the tools they need to success when they takeover? How is the future going to look?
