The Kverneland Group and Dimensions Agri Technologies (DAT) are entering a partnership and collaboration to grow its market for precision spraying systems. It works by fitting DAT EcoPatch sensors directly on your existing sprayer.

The system uses sensor technology alongside AI for precise herbicide application during the growth season (green-on-green) in cereals, to lower herbicides use and help increase yields.

The sensors are divided equally along the boom.

The central processing computer analyses the images in real time and decides whether it is beneficial to spray or not. DAT Ecopatch says the system can be adjusted to spray at different thresholds based on the crop selected and conditions in your individual fields.

The sensors are divided equally along the boom.

The cooperation aims to enable the installation of the DAT Ecopatch systems on Kverneland sprayers. DAT Ecopatch will be available in selected European markets, including Ireland, with further expansion to follow. The system is already mounted on several Kverneland sprayers in Norway, Germany and the Netherlands. The system will be officially launched in Ireland next week, at the Irish Farmers Journal and Teagasc Crops and Technology open day at Oak Park, on Wednesday 25 June.

The DAT Ecopatch system will be distributed and supported via the international DAT network. Kverneland field sprayers will be, as usual, supported and distributed via the Kverneland dealer network.
