At Ecorobotix, we are dedicated to delivering cutting-edge precision spraying technology that empowers farmers to significantly reduce herbicide usage. Data from nearly 3,000 missions in onion fields using our ARA ultra-high precision sprayer reveals impressive results, with nearly 70% of all missions achieving herbicide savings of 80%, and some missions saving as much as 98%.

This graph shows the herbicide savings. Each dot represents a unique ARA sprayer mission, with the x-axis showing randomized onion missions and the y-axis indicating the percentage of herbicide savings, ranging from 0% to 100%.

One of the key takeaways is the consistency of these savings. Most missions demonstrate herbicide savings between 60% and 98%, with a significant concentration around the 80% mark (results depend on factors such as weed density and target type, including monocot and dicot weeds).

This data, collected from ARA sprayers deployed globally, highlights the machine’s ability to adapt to diverse field conditions.

By focusing only on the weeds and avoiding unnecessary spraying on healthy crops, ARA helps farmers reduce herbicide waste, minimizing both environmental impact and crop damage. As more farmers adopt precision agriculture, the advantages of using the ARA sprayer become even more evident. These substantial savings not only lower input costs but also contribute to more sustainable farming practices, making agriculture more eco-friendly across the globe.
