On a 120 ft (36m) boom, 36 cameras are located across the length of the boom, scanning over 2,000 sq. ft per second. For each weed detected, herbicide is applied using a targeted spray.
Controllers are located along the boom to process the information from the camera.
For each weed sensed, a targeted application of herbicide is applied. This lets you zero in on weeds with an effective tank mix and helps manage spray drift.
Monitor in real time the performance occurring outside the cab.
The Generation 4 Display will stream data to the John Deere Operations Center, where you can access this data from your office to make informed decisions for your farm.
See & Spray™ Select scans areas of fallow ground for weeds. Based on internal John Deere testing covering 75,000 acres across the US and Canadian plains and Australian farms, the system used an average of 77% less herbicide when compared with traditional broadcast spraying.1
1. Based on tank-level sensor values taken at a steady state on John Deere sprayers equipped with and without See & Spray™ Select, before and after covering 75,000 acres of fallow ground with a typical weed pressure of 3,000 weeds per acre, using small and medium spray-length settings starting at 2.3 to 3.2 ft. (0.7 to 1 m), and average growing conditions (seasonal precipitation and temperature) across the US and Canadian plains and Australian farms. Spray-length settings varied based on ground speed, spray pressure, and boom height. Sprayers were equipped with current hardware and software at time of study. Individual results may vary based on field and growing conditions, weed pressure, spray-length settings, and software version.
See & Spray™ Select detects green plant material on fallow ground to activate the system. Once weeds are detected by the camera, a signal is sent back to the controller.
Once the controller identifies an area of the field as green material, a signal is sent across the boom to activate only specific nozzles. The number of nozzles activated can vary from one (1) up to full broadcast based on weed pressure. For non-fallow spraying, change to traditional broadcast, all from inside the cab.

Using the Generation 4 Display, See & Spray™ Select records where herbicide was applied. In addition, the display provides a coverage map of the area traveled where herbicide was not applied. This documentation enables you to track performance data.
Now you can cover your fallow fields using advanced camera and nozzle-control technology to spray only emerged weeds.
