Precision Spot Spraying

Smart
Detection System

Up to 90% reduction in chemical use

“A completely autonomous, integrated and self-regulating spray system for broadacre farming.”

High Performance Spray Control Technology

WEED-IT is the most accurate, fastest and most easy to use weed detection and elimination technology available.

By spraying only weeds, it helps you save up to 90% on chemical costs!

From Dutch pavements to Australian farms...
Originally designed to kill pavement weeds in The Netherlands the world class spot spraying technology made its way down under over a decade ago. This award winning Dutch invention is what we know as the NIR detecting WEED-IT sensor. Over 15 thousand sensors later WEED-IT is the clear market leader in Australia having given farmers plenty to smile about with savings of up to 90% on chemical usage and the satisfaction of conquering previously hard to kill summer weeds. With less stubble shading, tall weed coverage, double the benefits of 50 cm spacing and seamless operation WEED-IT is user friendly. Fast forward to 2020 Rometron Australia was established with a mission of bringing WEED-IT sensors to farmers fitted on the best boom sprays for our unique farming landscapes with technical support to match. Precise, user friendly, environmentally sound.

Some technical details & benefits outlined

Red Light system valve opens 20ms, Quadro Blue Light valve opens in 4ms, other brands out there opens in 200ms
Quadro valve operates at 50 times per second
WEED-IT weight is up to 50% lighter than competitors due to using current sprayer wet line
Quadro sensors weigh 50% less than the old red light system
Quadro operating speed can be up to 24km/h but due to boom stability real world speeds are around 18km to 20km
On the current sprayer wet line there can be 4 nozzles on the one nozzle body, 2 for WEED-IT and 2 for Blanket Line
Quadro has three modes of operation, spot mode, blanket mode and spot blanket mode
WEED-IT sensors are fitted higher on the boom providing protection to the camera. Other systems are mounted on the bottom of the boom
In field we have found greater WEED-IT targeting sensitivity from the red light system to Quadro
There is more new functions coming for Quadro that cannot be spoken of at this stage
When Quadro nozzle spacing is 25cm & the competitor is 50cm, WEED-IT will use up to 50% less chemical
Quadro has a very simple and light weight cabling, no need for junction boxes along the boom
Turn rate compensation on WEED-IT Blanket spray using pulse width modulation technology (Bit like the aim command and Raven Hawkeye)
WEED-IT Quadro uses 40 degree nozzles and some other brands are 85 degrees

Built for accurate spraying, reduced inputs, and reliable
in-field performance.
