Introducing the WEED-IT Optispot 7: Revolutionising Orchard Spraying

Rometron Australia proudly presents the Optispot 7, an advanced orchard sprayer that integrates WEED-IT optical spot spraying technology, specifically designed for nut and fruit growers.

Growers can anticipate up to 90% savings on chemical costs thanks to the WEED-IT sensors, which detect active chlorophyll and target only weeds, not dirt. With the rising costs of chemicals, restrictions on available chemicals, chemical-resistant weeds, MRL considerations, and the environmental benefits of reduced chemical usage, the Optispot 7 addresses these challenges effectively while saving money.

Key Features of the Optispot 7

12 WEED-IT Sensors: Customised for low-height operation, with a maximum boom height of 600 mm under trees.
Wide Coverage: Weed detection and spraying across the entire row, up to 7.3 meters wide, with options for wider coverage to meet grower needs.
Six Sensor Version: Available for under-tree spraying, accommodating a mid-row cover crop.
Adjustable Design: Features for varying row widths, centre boom height adjustment for different bed heights, break-away outer booms, and spray suppression to reduce drift.

Designed and manufactured in the Netherlands, WEED-IT technology is a market leader in spot spraying, with over 15,000 sensors in operation across Australia.

Hear from Darren Minter of Minter Magic, Iraak, VIC

“I’ve been searching for an orchard weed spot sprayer for a decade. My broadacre friends have been using them for 20 years, saving up to 90% on chemicals. Initially, I hoped to save 25%, but now I’m confident I’ll save 75% or more.”

“The speed, ease of operation, and savings in time and money are remarkable. I’m using significantly less chemical in my orchard, allowing me to spray more frequently and keep the blocks consistently clean. With rising chemical costs, this is a game-changer. The Optispot 7 is robustly built and performs exceptionally well.”
