The brief

Analyst view

• Built into Fendt Rogator (AGCO), Case IH and New Holland (CNH) and Stara sprayers.
• Spots weeds on bare soil and among crops, day or night, with LED lights.
• 2025 university trials: herbicide costs cut, control similar to broadcast when paired with residuals.

Technical approach

As reported

Hardware

Bosch cameras on the boom

High-resolution cameras look ahead of each nozzle section and LED lights allow spraying around the clock.

Software

Weed detection in milliseconds

AI tells weeds from soil and from crop plants, then opens only the nozzles above weeds.

Agronomy

BASF xarvio maps and advice

Weed maps, as-applied records and herbicide recommendations come through BASF's xarvio platform.
