And it doesn't stop with the current proposals. On Wednesday the "Beyond 2030 Technical Report" was released. See HERE "In some cases, enabling works also provide wider system benefits providing an efficient means to meet multiple network drivers. It is recommended to upgrade and/or rebuild...

As above - Approx. 600 ha needs to be sprayed in total to break even for the 12 meter one. You obviously need to do your own sums for your own situation. Herbicide savings, reduction in yield loss, clover retention / N from clover would be the main benefits.

You can always use a 3 meter, quad mounted one, but that swops labour costs for herbicide savings. Approx 600 ha needs to be sprayed in total to break even for the 12 meter one. Quite a few farms / contractors will do a few hundred ha of grass spraying in a season.. But agree, its not for...

Best way to save herbicide cost is to spot spray.. We soft launched the SoilEssentials SKAi system last year after 4 years internal development. Saves 80% to 90% herbicide and water ( so you can do more acres on a fill) Doesn't kill clover Doesn't check the grass Have a look at the video...

At the moment the machine vision model running on the SKAi system spot sprays docks. Thistles / nettles / ragwort etc models are planned to be released this year. The system was designed from the outset to be retrainable which means that we need to gather images of the target weeds ( this can...

Drone imagery is an option which some people use, but, although we have built the stitchind software and VRA map production in our kore software, in our experience its a massive pina trying to get good drone imagery due to wind, lighting conditions etc. Its also expensive to get a good quality...

There are several possible solutions. One is an injection system where you keep clean water in the tank and inject neat herbicide into the flow to the booms. Another ( which we use) is to have 2 tanks. One ( the large one) holds clean water, the other smaller tank is the mix tank. In the...

Yes, totally agree. However the aim is to use the current commercial system ( which is based on standard sprayer technology which everyone understands) to get the system out there and providing benefits now to people using "normal" sprayers. If / when we add an autonomous vehicle it will add...

Planning demos now, but obviously have to wait for the correct crop / weed growth stages. Get in touch if you want to discuss.

Yes - video here However the trade off v a larger sprayer is labour costs.

Yes, We (SoilEssentials) have been developing a system in house for the last few years and have quite a few commercial systems out now in the UK and Europe First use cases are grassland spraying ( docks now, thistles / nettles / ragwort later this year) and potato volunteers in veg crops (...

Come and see us ( SoilEssentials) Hall 8, C21. No hospitality, or freebies I'm afraid, but some ground breaking tech being shown. E.g. Green on green spot sprayer spraying docks and potato SkAI spot sprayer in docks and onions All built in house and designed for UK / European equipment...

That's what the model numbers are now. 8 tonnes per hour sounds like a nice size..

Think it's 6000 kg per hour... don't need a huge one..

Bump! Anyone got an Alvan Blanch DF 6000 or similar for sale?

Load of Urea @ £355 delivered November, pay in Dec

Are you thinking of a chip burner? Direct or indirect? Or something different..

Colts foot is an interesting one. Which herbicide do you use and at what growth stage? Volunteer potatoes is something we have been looking at. Problem is what you do once you locater them. In onions and some veg crops there are still selective herbicides available, in carrots there are none in...
