Broadacre
Proven Precision for Broadacre Farming
From winter cereals and pulses to cotton, oilseeds, peanuts, and sugarcane, broadacre cropping has always been the natural home of WEED-IT optical spot sprayers.
The WEED-IT Quadro system is the perfect fit for ground gliders, trailed sprayers, self-propelled units, and autonomous platforms – delivering precision control across every type of operation.
WEED-IT was among the first technologies to enable farmers to target and eliminate individual weeds, plant by plant, rather than broadcast spraying entire paddocks. It detects living weeds using our proven Power of Fluorescence – the chlorophyll-based principle that’s been at the core of WEED-IT since 1999.
Because every living plant contains chlorophyll, WEED-IT sensors can instantly distinguish weeds from soil or stubble and apply herbicide precisely where it’s needed. The stronger the chlorophyll signal, the larger the weed – allowing for accurate, efficient spraying before seeding, after crop emergence, and post-harvest.
Since 2009, farmers around the world have relied on WEED-IT spot spraying to remove living green weeds from fallow paddocks – protecting every drop of soil moisture for the next crop.
By targeting only weeds, WEED-IT prevents unwanted competition for water and nutrients, while also reducing the risk of herbicide resistance. The result is smarter, more sustainable weed control – with up to 95% savings on crop protection costs compared to full-field spraying.
Farmers all over the world rely on WEED-IT.
Advantages of WEED-IT for spot spraying in broadacre crops on fallow land
Precision on every plant – detects and eliminates weeds individually with a minimum spray margin of just 10 cm
Spray only where needed – save up to 95% on chemical and water use, reducing refills and operating costs
Smarter weed management – prevents herbicide resistance, cuts down weed seed banks, and tackles even hard-to-kill weeds
Greater flexibility – allows stronger tank mixes when required for stubborn weeds.
- Built for all conditions – operates day or night with its own light source and maintains accuracy at speeds up to 25 km/h
- Consistent coverage – PWM technology delivers precise rates with automatic speed and turn compensation.
- Easy integration – retrofittable to almost any sprayer, with no pay-per-use fees or algorithm-based charges.
- Data-driven insights – generates “as-applied,” “as-covered,” and crop density maps for smarter farm management.
Optimize crop yields, reduce herbicide use, and enhance sustainability.
