Ames, Iowa, February 15, 2024 – Today, Ag Leader is growing their full-farm solu�on lineup with the newest addi�on to their DirectCommand applica�on product line, trusted by farmers for nearly two decades. RightSpot offers nozzle-by-nozzle sprayer control for consistent and effec�ve coverage plus added flexibility for a wider speed range, greater produc�vity and increased accuracy. “With input costs and regula�ons rising, farmers will need to be taking a closer look at their sprayer and applica�on technology,” stated John Howard, Applica�on Product Manager. “Adding nozzle-by-nozzle control to their exis�ng sprayer provides immediate financial and agronomic benefits,” he added. “RightSpot is very precise at applying the right rate and pressure desired across varying speeds and field terrain. It means maximizing the effec�veness of their inputs with the right droplet size and coverage to give the crop what it needs while minimizing wasted product and �me.” A tradi�onal sprayer regulates applica�on rate by increasing or decreasing boom pressure as the travel speed of the sprayer changes. This means reducing speed in rough soil condi�ons or around obstacles like terraces and waterways results in a larger than desired droplet size resul�ng in reduced chemical efficacy. Also increasing speed in good field condi�ons results in a smaller than desired droplet size increasing the risk of chemical dri� onto adjacent crops. With RightSpot, flow rate and pressure are controlled independently. Individual pulsing nozzles maintain a consistent, user-defined boom pressure across a wide range of speed. The operator can speed up or slow down without sacrificing the droplet size or coverage applied. Automa�c shut-off at a nozzle level allows the operator to complete the applica�on on the most efficient path of travel versus taking extra �me tracing obstacles. Headlands, terraces and curves are also accounted for with turn compensa�on maintaining consistent rate applied on the inner and outer por�ons of the boom. “Spraying crops is one of the most demanding jobs on the farm. It's extremely �me-sensi�ve and o�en requires more passes through the field than any other machine in the opera�on,” John added. “In developing RightSpot, we set out to do what Ag Leader does best: make the grower’s job easier with a simple, year-round interface that enables them to achieve precise applica�on control while increasing produc�vity.” RightSpot is controlled through the year-round InCommand 1200 display for complete visibility inside and outside the cab. RightSpot will be available for sale through Ag Leader’s dealer network in late summer 2024.
