At Crops-A-Palooza in Carberry on July 24, Tom Wolf of Sprayers 101 spoke about the possible in crop use of WEEDit, although the green on brown technology is largely used for burn off, since it doesn’t differentiate between the green of a crop and green of the weeds.

Jesper Voois, product specialist with Rometron, goes over the specs of the WEEDit system, how the spot sprayer is designed to only spray individual weeds – illustrated by using water-reactive paper next to weeds in a demonstration plot – and how much the system costs.
