What is Smart Apply?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Smart Apply\u2122 is an intelligent spray control system compatible with all air-blast<\/strong> and over-the-row sprayers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developed for orchards<\/strong>, vineyards<\/strong>, and pine tree<\/strong> growers, it transforms the way you work in the field thanks to cutting-edge technology that reduces the amount of product you apply by up to 50%<\/strong>, while minimizing drift and runoff<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A LiDAR laser scans your tree canopy in real time<\/strong>. The system creates a precise digital map<\/strong> of your trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PWM solenoids control each nozzle individually.<\/strong>
The result: targeted application<\/strong>, only where there is foliage\u2014in the right place<\/strong>, at the right time<\/strong>, and in the right amount<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Operational data captured automatically.<\/strong>
You get:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Growth data for your trees<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Volumes applied<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Product savings<\/li>\n\n\n\n
