What's New in Version 8?
-
Spot in Crop (SiC) Formerly known as Green on Green, our global weed detection solution has been rebranded as Spot in Crop (SiC). With this update, WEED-IT continues to lead the way in innovative weed management. The detection mode works in several crops and circumstances, some use cases
include:-
Bigger weeds and corn in soybeans
-
Volunteer potatoes and big weeds in sugar beets
-
Wild radish in cereals
-
Spot spraying on larger, resistant weed types like Feathertop grass
-
Bigger weeds in cotton - see image
-
Post harvest application on hard to kill, more resistant weeds like kochia, while ignoring
volunteer cereals
-
The functioning of the SiC mode relies on chlorophyll fluorescence technology. This means that for a weed
to be detected it must emit in a significantly higher fluorescence measurement within a detection channel than the crop.
-
Invert Detection Mode Say hello to the new 'Invert' mode! Now, WEED-IT can spray on bare soil while avoiding all detected plants. This functionality allows for precise soil herbicide application in areas where no crops have emerged.
-
Measure Crop Height Our height sensor option just got smarter. With this upgrade, WEED-IT can now accurately detect crop height, offering even more valuable data for your farming operations.
-
AQrate Module Introducing the AQrate PWM standalone product, launching in Q1 2025! This module runs on the same firmware as a Quadro detection sensor and can operate independently with Section Communicator, ISOBUS, and extended functionalities when paired with WEED-IT Dash. Stay tuned for more updates!
-
Bugfixes We've improved the system by disabling height sensors during user menu 102 cleaning functions or detection test mode ('Bleeding'), ensuring these functions work as expected every time.
