Onion

The ARA Ultra-High Precision Sprayer is setting a new standard in sustainable agriculture. For onion growers, their benefits are great especially when it comes to minimizing phytotoxicity.

The Hidden Threat

Phytotoxicity, caused by excessive or imprecise chemical 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)

ARA’s Ultra-Precise Targeting: The Solution to Reducing Phytotoxicity induced by herbicide applications

Up to 95% Reduction in Plant Protection Product Use – ARA precisely applies herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers only where needed.

Ultra-High Precision (2.4-inch accuracy) – No more excessive spraying on healthy plants.

Minimal Crop Stress – Protect your onions from unnecessary exposure to harsh plant protection products.

Up to 95% Reduction in Plant Protection Product Use

ARA precisely applies herbicides, insecticides, and fertilizers only where needed.

Proven Results: Data from 3,000 Onion Missions

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 plant protection product stress.

Higher Yield Potential – By avoiding phytotoxicity, onions grow stronger and bigger.

Lower Input Costs – Reduce plant protection product expenses while improving overall farm profitability.

Environmentally Sustainable – Reduce plant protection product runoff, improve soil health and air pollution.
