🌱🤝 Back in May, Smart Apply attended the Southeastern Specialty Crop Technology Conference & Show in Tifton, Georgia, where we connected with growers, university researchers, and industry partners to discuss the future of precision spraying.

💡 Set up in the John Deere booth, our team featured two GUSS units equipped with Smart Apply alongside our Ring-O-Fire Simulator. Throughout the event, Gary Vandenbark, Product Manager and Chief Engineer behind Smart Apply technology, demonstrated the system and presented during the conference, sharing how Smart Apply helps improve efficiency, reduce water and chemical use, and lower input costs for specialty crop growers.

📍 If you missed us in Georgia, you can still learn more about Smart Apply, connect with your nearest dealer, and schedule a field demonstration at https://t.co/ERqVx3atXu to see the system in action.

🤷 😎 About "six seven" percent.

By eliminating overspray and applying product only where it's needed, Smart Apply helps growers reduce waste, lower input costs, and maintain healthy crops, with in-field trials demonstrating chemical savings of up to 67%.

Taking fewer trips to mix chemicals and refill sprayers, growers spend less time spraying and more time getting work done. Those savings add up quickly, with an average ROI in just 12 months and some growers reporting payback in as little as four months. #SmartApply #JohnDeere #SixSeven

🌿The John Deere StarFire™ 7500 Receiver is now included with Smart Apply 2.2 kits, creating a powerful precision spraying combination for growers.

While Smart Apply's LiDAR technology scans the canopy and makes real-time spraying decisions, the StarFire 7500 provides accurate positioning and speed data that helps keep the operation running smoothly throughout the field. Together, the technologies give growers greater visibility into their spraying operation while ensuring product is applied only where it's needed.

💦 It's a great example of how precision agriculture tools can work together to help growers make more informed decisions and get more out of every pass through the orchard, vineyard, or nursery.

💦 ⚙️ Every nozzle on a Smart Apply system is controlled with precision, and these solenoids play a major role in making that happen. While the nozzle is the part that actually sprays the chemical, the solenoid acts as the electronic valve that controls exactly when each nozzle turns on and off.

Using LiDAR laser technology, Smart Apply scans 270 degrees around the sprayer while collecting 24,000 data points per second to create a digital blueprint of the canopy. That information is then processed in real time, and signals are sent through the control box to each individual nozzle, telling each solenoid when to fire so product is only applied where it’s needed.

⚡ These solenoids can pulse up to 10 times per second, allowing the system to rapidly adjust application rates as the sprayer moves through varying canopy density in orchards and vineyards.

🌿 The result is a smarter spraying operation with less waste, reduced overspray, and major savings on input costs, all while maintaining effective crop protection.

🌱🔬 Since 2013, the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture has worked alongside Smart Apply to study and evaluate precision spraying technology in real-world nursery and orchard conditions. Even in dense canopies and challenging production environments, their research continues to show significant reductions in pesticide use while maintaining effective crop protection in apple and nursery crops.

📊 Their findings have also highlighted reductions in airborne drift and off-target application, reinforcing how precision spraying can improve both efficiency and sustainability in high-value crop operations.

💬 Amy Fulcher of the University of Tennessee Department of Plant Sciences believes Smart Apply has the potential to “revolutionize how we apply pesticides” and eventually become standard technology throughout the specialty crop industry. Amy and the UTIA team continue helping evaluate how Smart Apply performs and fits into the future of high-value crop production.

🎙️ We’re grateful for partners like UTIA who continue pushing innovation forward through research, testing, and education. Keep an eye out for an upcoming episode of the Blooms and Beyond podcast featuring Amy Fulcher and Dr. Ping Yu, where they’ll discuss the university’s work with spray technology and Smart Apply, found here: https://t.co/GE1hHIKUEy. #AgriTech #PrecisionAg #SmartApply #JohnDeere #HighValueCrops #Agriculture #Sustainability
