Vegetable Growing Field Day at Queckbrunnerhof
The Palatinate Vegetable Growing Field Day at the Queckbrunnerhof near Schifferstadt at the beginning of September attracts vegetable growers and interested parties from all over Germany and neighbouring countries every year who want to find out about new products. At the machinery exhibition, technical solutions for mechanical weed control and plant protection as well as planting and sowing technology were discussed.
The story features our technology, that was showcased by our partner Agravis:
Selective spraying and reduction of phytosanitary products
At the Agravis stand, the new Ara spraying system from Ecorobotix was presented, which is designed to significantly reduce the amount of crop protection products used by identifying individual plants and applying them with pinpoint accuracy.
Ecorobotix has been awarded the 2024 Avantgarde Award by the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce (Swiss AmCham) Southern California. This honor celebrates our dedication to advancing Swiss-American business relations through forward-looking innovation and impactful contributions to sustainable agriculture. After placing as a finalist last year, we are incredibly proud to have achieved first place in 2024.
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%.
Noud van Gog, a farmer and contractor based in Liessel, Netherlands, manages a substantial area of chicory and sugar beets, covering 580 hectares and 710 hectares, respectively. Dedicated to keeping his fields clean from weeds, he employs a strategic mix of mechanical weeding and spraying with Ecorobotix’s ARA precision sprayer, aiming to minimize chemical usage while maximizing crop health and yield.
