About
Spot spraying promises lower costs and greater efficiency – but when does the math actually work? Are the investments worth it? Does the technology deliver in the field? And how does weed pressure evolve in the years that follow? Learn from the real-world experience of a U.S. farmer. Choosing the right system – from the sprayer and detection technology to nozzle selection and compatible herbicides – every detail counts. Spot spraying has real advantages: reduced labor thanks to targeted application, new possibilities for herbicides with crop safety concerns, less soil compaction – and a strategic edge in managing resistance. But how much yield benefit can you expect? Join us for a practical talk featuring a farmer from Nebraska, USA – followed by an open discussion.
