Effective weed management is evolving. Traditionally, blanket spraying has been the go-to for tackling docks and thistles in Irish pastures. However, with rising input costs and increasing pressure for sustainable farming, the “spray everything” approach is becoming a thing of the past.

At Vantage Ireland, we are introducing a smarter way to manage your land: the SKAi Green-on-Green Spot Spraying Technology.

What is Green-on-Green Technology?

Unlike standard sensors that only see “green vs. brown” (weeds on bare soil), the SKAi AI system is trained to identify specific weeds hidden within a green crop. Using high-speed cameras and advanced machine learning, it distinguishes docks, thistles, and rushes from your grass in real-time.

Key Benefits of the SKAi Spot Sprayer:

  • Up to 90% Chemical Savings: By only triggering the nozzles when a weed is detected, you drastically reduce herbicide waste and cost.

  • Pasture Health: Because you aren’t blanket spraying, you protect your clover and maintain better soil biodiversity.

  • Precision Engineering: Featuring a 15-meter boom and individual nozzle control, the system ensures no overlaps or missed spots.

  • Integrated Mixing: The onboard Dosatron unit mixes chemicals on demand, meaning you only use what you need and leave no waste in the tank.
