Fendt & Bosch Precision Ag Collaboration Wins Showstopper Award at MAGIE 2023

AGCO Corporation announced that the One Smart Spray system, a collaborative project between AGCO’s Fendt brand and Bosch BASF, won the CropLife Iron Showstopper Award at the 2023 Midwest Ag Industries Exhibition (MAGIE) Show in Bloomington, Ill., on August 23, 2023. The award is given by Croplife Iron magazine and the Illinois Fertilizer & Chemical Association (IFCA) to the product recognized by attendees as the “best in show.”

One Smart Spray is a precision ag technology that leverages high-resolution cameras to detect weeds in real time and spray herbicide only where needed, reducing the use and cost of inputs for growers. Fendt is integrating One Smart Spray into its Rogator 900 solution, the industry’s only self-propelled, adjustable-height applicator according to AGCO. One Smart Spray is currently in field testing; general availability is anticipated in 2025.

Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
