In the 2025 season, the Univ. of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL) conducted replicated field trials to evaluate two different approaches to deploying AI-driven precision spraying.

As you put the sprayer in storage for the winter, this is also a good time to clean and inspect the exterior, tanks, hoses, and other components – including your tendering equipment.

Engineer Thijs van Harten explains how the Weed-It precision spraying system works and discusses why it’s proving to be a game-changing crop protection option for no-tillers and strip-tillers.

AgZen, Inc. announced the signing of an agreement with Corteva to explore the commercial potential of AgZen’s crop spraying optimization technology, RealCoverage.

Here are Erdal Ozkan's top 10 recommendations (not in any particular order) that will make spraying efficient and effective, resulting in a higher level of biological efficacy expected from pesticides applied.

“When you approach the rootworm as just a problem that has to be solved, you’re not taking into account the animal’s biology,” Ann Marie Journey says. “You’re hitting it just at certain points or with certain methods or controls, and you’re not allowing yourself in effect to have a conversation to gain insight back from the rootworms about what it is that makes them successful in any given place."

Using pre-emergence herbicides is a great way to stay ahead of weeds in corn and soybean production, but there is more to it than simply picking the right herbicide or spraying at correct time. How well these herbicides perform is dependent on your soil and how you farm.
