Ecorobotix ARA Mounted Sprayer
The Ecorobotix ARA mounted (pulled) sprayer has been designed to provide high-precision and ultra-targeted spraying of herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and fertilisers to improve profitability, yet adhere to environmental regulations.
The ARA enables you to reduce the use of crop protection products by up to 95% over conventional spraying methods, and treats a large number of crops with all types of products and can be used throughout the whole year over different fields.
A water tank and a spray liquid tank are carried in the front attachment of the tractor. This enables mobile refilling of the spraying liquid in the field. After initial treatment, the optimal mix of spray liquid is automatically calculated to simplify completing the work in a given area.
A total of 13 herbicide, fungicide or insecticide applications are currently available, including row crops, vegetable crops and grassland including:
- Sugar beet
- Onions
- Beans
- Iceberg lettuce
- Rapeseed
- Spinach
- Chicory
- Corn
Plus weeds including rumex, dock and thistle, as well as potato regrowth and stubble treatment.
The ARA range of Ecorobotix precision sprayers is the proven solution for complying with stringent environmental regulations and increasing agriculture profitability.
