WEED-IT is an advanced precision spraying technology designed to combat weeds in a sustainable, cost-efficient, and highly targeted way. Using state-of-the-art sensors, WEED-IT detects the presence of weeds in real time and applies herbicides only where weeds are present.
WEED-IT uses optical chlorophyll-detection sensors that identify living green plants (weeds). Once detected:
It works in both daylight and nighttime conditions, across different speeds, and in various soil and crop environments.
Rometron is a Dutch technology company that develops and builds reliable precision spraying systems for sustainable agriculture. With more than 25 years of experience, Rometron helps farmers and contractors around the world to work more efficiently, reduce costs and limit the environmental impact of crop protection.
The company was founded in Wageningen, the Netherlands, by Roel de Jonge. After graduating from Wageningen University and Research in 1997 with a thesis on spot spraying technology, he saw its great potential and established Rometron in 1999. Soon after, the first WEED-IT system was introduced.
WEED-IT technology uses smart sensors that detect weeds and spray only where needed. This allows users to save up to 95 percent on crop protection products while keeping fields clean and productive. Over the years, WEED-IT has become a proven solution for reducing herbicide use, preventing weed seed buildup and helping to avoid herbicide resistance.
The WEED-IT range includes three main products:
All systems are developed in the Netherlands and used worldwide. With WEED-IT, Rometron contributes to more efficient and sustainable farming for the future.
