Greeneye's innovative technology now supports cotton crops

Expanding its reach, Greeneye Technology has tailored its Precision Spraying System to benefit U.S. cotton farmers, previously proven in corn and soy. 

The system significantly cuts herbicide use and addresses the unique challenges of cotton farming, including herbicide resistance and the need for multiple applications during long growing seasons.

Dudley Pohnert, a seasoned cotton producer, endorses the system, stating, "Upgrading our existing John Deere sprayer with the Greeneye system will give us the flexibility to spray more frequently, including at night or in dusty conditions—critical for working around the storms we often face in June. Despite spraying more often, we expect to reduce our annual herbicide use by 25-40%." 

This system is compatible with any commercial sprayer, regardless of brand. It performs both precision and broadcast spraying, increasing operational efficiency without the need for new equipment investments.

Using advanced sensors and AI, the Greeneye system processes images to precisely target weeds, sparing cotton plants and optimizing herbicide distribution. This method enhances crop safety and promotes environmental stewardship.

Nadav Bocher, CEO of Greeneye, emphasizes the system's role in modernizing cotton weed control, "offering proven cost savings, enhanced efficacy, and greater sustainability." This innovation marks a significant step forward in precision agriculture, making it a game-changer for cotton producers across the U.S.
