John Deere launches See & Spray Ultimate targeted spraying
Deere launched See & Spray Ultimate, a factory option for model-year 2023 410R, 412R and 612R sprayers. 36 cameras on a 120-foot boom tell weeds from corn, soybean and cotton plants and spray only the weeds, reducing non-residual herbicide use by more than two-thirds.
- 36 cameras mounted every 3.28 feet on a 120-foot boom; 10 CPUs generating four gigabytes of data per second.
- Enables 'green on green' in-season spraying in corn, cotton and soybean.
- Cuts non-residual herbicide use by more than two-thirds while maintaining hit rate comparable to traditional broadcast spraying.
