Effective weed detection and elimination is becoming increasingly important
in today's growing environment with less precipitation, limitations on herbicides
usage and resistant weeds. To help growers gain the advantage in weed
management and control, WEED-IT manufacturers has introduced the WEED-IT
Quadro: the next generation spot spraying.
e new WEED-IT Quadro incorporates 10 years of worldwide experience with
the current WEEDit Ag system. Quadro refers to the four detection zones of every
WEED-IT detection sensor, each accounting for 25 cm of
the entire spray boom width. e extra small zones with improved optics make
sure the system never misses any weed. Whereas this additional accuracy is easily
missed by the human eye, the new blue LED-lighting is not. Blue LED's have
proven to be more sensitive to weeds and less sensitive to background noise and
thus more efficient compared to the red LED-lighting used to date. Blue is the new
color of the next generation of spot spraying technology.
Adding to the increased accuracy and efficiency is the new dual core processor
for fast communication and high sampling frequency. It guarantees higher
communication speeds that would be needed to enable V, weed and biomass
mapping and working with application maps in the future.
