Invented by Harrie Hoeben of the Netherlands, Wingssprayer is designed to allow producers to use fine droplets while crop spraying without worrying about spray drift. The system virtually eliminates wind interference at the spray heads while also opening the canopy so herbicides or pesticides properly cover the plant and treat it further down.

Wingssprayer’s Manitoba office is located in Rivers, Man.
