By reason of increasingly strict environmental regulations and the growing demand for sustainable agricultural solutions, Kverneland introduces three precision technologies on its field sprayer range: a Closed Transfer System (CTS), iXflow-Pulse (Pulse Width Modulation) and the DAT Ecopatch patch spraying system.
With these precision systems, Kverneland proves that technology and sustainability go hand in hand. These solutions support farmers in meeting strict regulations, increasing operational efficiency and contributing to a future-oriented agriculture.
The chemical inductors of the Kverneland sprayer range are adapted to integrate CTS directly at the filling station. CTS allows plant protection products to be transferred from the container to the sprayer tank in a completely closed system. This eliminates almost all user exposure and prevents environmental emissions during filling. Key benefits of the Kverneland Closed Transfer System include: no direct contact with plant protection products, significant reduction of point source contamination into air, soil or surface water by limiting the risk of product leakage during filling operation.
The iXflow-Pulse (PWM system) takes care of stable spraying pressure over a wide speed range during variation in application rate. It ensures consistent droplet size and coverage, regardless of speed and field conditions. With iXflow-Pulse with iXcurve there is a different output from the inner to the outer boom side, dependent on the boom speed, resulting in an equal application rate in every boom segment.
iXflow-Pulse with iXcurve – equal application rate in every boom segment
The DAT Ecopatch, all-in-one AI-vision system identifies weed patches and sprays Green-on-Brown and Green-on-Green in real time and is fully integrated . DAT recognises and categorises weeds in fields with wheat, cereals and oil seed rape. When the camera regognizes weeds, a signal is sent to the Kverneland field sprayer and the appropriate nozzles are activated. This results in optimisation of plant protection with minimal product usage.
