WEED-IT can be retrofitted to any self-propelled, trailed or 3 point linkage sprayer.

WEED-IT a lifeline in Queensland farmer’s fight against resistant weeds

“Our resistant grasses are very hard to kill. Glyphosate does nothing to them. With the optical spot sprayer we can use glufosinate, which has a different mode of action,” says Shane Beil, Kilcummin Station, near Clermont, in Central Queensland.

It is the only chemical we have found that will work but it is very expensive at the rates we need to apply it via blanket spraying. With the WEED-IT, we can afford to use it. It is allowing us to keep farming productively.

“I am very happy with the way the sensors are set up and the way they work. The sensors work at night just as well as during the day, so we can keep going if we need to.”

WEED-IT retrofit gives Queensland farmer affordable way to hammer tough weeds

Retrofitting a WEED-IT optical spraying system to a John Deere self-propelled sprayer is giving a Queensland farming family control over hard-to-kill weeds.

Nigel and Trudy Parker and their son Josh grow sorghum, wheat and chickpeas on 1700 ha on Mistie Downs, their dryland farm north of Clermont.

“Before we had the WEED-IT we would have to spray the whole paddock for minimal weeds. Now we can just target the weeds.”

WEED-IT optical spot sprayers can be mounted as a retro fit kit option on tow-behind sprayers, but the Parker family felt it was more economical to add it to their existing self-propelled. They would stay in their comfortable cab without the cost of another tractor.

“They are two independent systems. That’s the beauty of it. There are no complications with them trying to talk to each other.”
