The Onion Algorithm used by the ARA UHP Sprayer is setting a new standard in sustainable agriculture. For onion growers, their benefits are great especially when it comes to minimizing phytotoxicity.
Detect & treat weeds with Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Our advanced Plant-by-Plant AI™ technology detects weeds of sub-centimeter size in your onion crop. It targets them in less than 1/4 of a second on a footprint as small as 6 by 6cm.
Phytotoxicity, caused by excessive or imprecise plant protection product application, can have a severe impact on the onion’s development:
No herbicides are applied—used as a control in tests.
Non-Treated (Class mm)
AI targets specific weeds, spraying only them with selective herbicides.
ARA, Selective (Class mm)
AI sprays only weeds with non-selective herbicides, avoiding crops.
ARA, Non-Selective (Class mm)
Herbicides are sprayed evenly across an entire field, covering both weeds & crops.
Broadcast Spraying (Class mm)
We have treated more than 1,750 hectares of onions with ARA, which has allowed us to achieve savings of up to 96% on raw chemical inputs. Of course, this depends on weed pressure and crop growth stage, but we are very satisfied with the results.

Up to 95% Reduction in Plant Protection Product Use
ARA precisely applies herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers only where needed.
Our recent study, analyzing nearly 3,000 ARA sprayer missions in onion fields, revealed herbicide savings of up to 95%. In most cases, plant protection product use was reduced by at least 80%, proving that ARA not only cuts costs but also protects onions from chemical stress.
Higher Yield Potential – By avoiding phytotoxicity, onions grow stronger and bigger.
