Oct 27, 2021

Intelligent Agricultural Solutions, LLC has revealed its Recon SpraySense technology that monitors the flow and pressure of all sprayer nozzles in real-time providing.

You use your sprayers a lot on your farm—for water, herbicides and fungicide application, running 72 nozzles or more on a single sprayer—but how do you know the efficiency of your agricultural spraying system? How quickly are you aware of plugged nozzles? If application is not accurate or thorough, weeds growth or a lack of crop nutrient can occur robbing your farm of valuable crop yield.

That’s where Recon SpraySense can help.

Monitoring your existing sprayers’ nozzle performance from within the can with an iPad app, farm equipment operators can view real-time product flow rate, pressure and droplet size from your spray nozzles. If even one isn’t working optimally, the operator will know about immediately and can remedy the situation.
Features include:

Detects and alerts operator of negative sprayer nozzle performance;
Provides management of droplet size and overall coverage accuracy;
Pre-loaded specifications for over 1,100 different nozzle tips;
Compatible with common check valves and electronic on/off valves;
Improves value of your existing spraying equipment;
Can maximize farm profits.

Recon SpraySense technology is designed to work with nearly every brand of sprayer on the market, allowing operators to more accurately spray on target.

Video: Five Confirmed New World Screwworm Cases Raise Alarm for Livestock and Pet Owners

Pat Hoffman, Swine Technical Consultant and Elanco Animal Health tells us about the inpact or New World Screwworm. The emergence of New World screwworm in the U.S. creates a threat for veterinarians, livestock producers and pet owners that has not been seen north of the Florida Keys since the fly was eradicated from the United States more than 50 years ago. New World screwworm (Cochliomyia hominivorax) larvae feed on living tissue and can affect a wide range of warm-blooded animals, including livestock, companion animals, wildlife, and even humans.
“New World screwworm could have a devastating impact on animal health, welfare, and producer livelihoods,” said Jeff Simmons, President and CEO, Elanco Animal Health. “We want to thank the FDA, EPA and USDA, for all their work to prepare for this threat. We’re committed to supporting our customers during this challenging time by delivering innovation, scientific expertise, and available resources to help treat New World screwworm and support the health and well-being of animals.”
Elanco is working alongside the U.S. animal health industry to help them fight against this parasite, offering a portfolio of options for pets and livestock that can help treat New World screwworm larvae infestations.
