By that I mean not the sort of interest you see in the equity markets where share prices have been driven through the roof because some investor doesn’t want to miss the next Microsoft or Amazon.

September 24, 2019Like any developing technology, spot-spraying systems are far from perfect. In a Manitoba demonstration this July, attendees noted that the WEEDit system missed some smaller weeds during a single pass. That could be addresses by adjusting sensor sensitivity or by turning on “dual mode,” which sprays a constant quarter-rate to take care of less hardy
