Tall Fescue
The Tall Fescue Algorithm used by the ARA™ UHP Sprayer is setting a new standard for weed management in grass seed production. Grass seed growers can now efficiently target problem weeds such as Poa annua (annual bluegrass) and Lolium multiflorum (Italian ryegrass) with minimal impact on the tall fescue.
The Challenge: Maintaining Seed Purity
Tall Fescue faces various types of weeds. Yet when the competing weed is another type of grass such as Poa annua (annual bluegrass) or Lolium multiflorum (Italian ryegrass), the task is more complexe, often requiring workers to scout fields and spot-spray scattered weeds that are very similar. Treating them makes the difference in the final outcome, seed purity.
Treat Only What's Needed
Our advanced Plant-by-Plant AI™ technology detects weeds of
sub-centimeter size in your tall fescue seed production. It targets them in less than 1/4 of a second on a footprint as small as 6 by 6cm.
Proven in Tall Fescue
In a 2025 trial at Hyslop Research Farm in Corvallis, Oregon, Oregon State University and Ecorobotix evaluated ARA's ability to identify and treat Poa annua in tall fescue using a targeted application of glyphosate. ARA succeeded in cutting herbicide application by 84%.
