Since it's only a lile spot, you can afford to do it that way." Using WEEDit technology has also cut his water usage from over 20,000 gallons to just 4,090 gallons. Since he is using less chemical, he doesn't need to refill nearly as oen, slashing costs associated with those tasks, as well. As a general rule, WEEDit pays for itself by the time it covers its first 20,000 acres. "Last year we reduced our chemical by 60 percent," Dave says. "e return on investment is beer that on any other piece of equipment out there." But perhaps the best is yet to come. is past October, WEEDit turned out the "Quadro," improving plant detection and efficiency savings even more. Farmers can expect to save as much as 90 percent on chemical using the WEEDit Quadro, says company president Adam Huon. "I think many farmers will know the technology and what it does in a basic format. What they may not now is that there are now two additional key features," Adam explains. "Bias Mode allows the operator to apply a light rate of chemical across the whole field but then apply a spike rate when a larger weed is detected," he says. "WEEDit now has the ability to spray in crop as a regular sprayer, utilizing the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) features. is allows the operator to accurately apply post-emergent chemical on a per-nozzle basis with speed and turn compensation." Dave believes so strongly that WEEDit's tried-and-true method will be a beer utilization of your resources that he became part of the company's hard-working crew.
