Israeli precision agriculture firm Greeneye has successfully run a series of field trials of its precision spraying system in real field conditions. The trials showed the benefits of precision agriculture in improving crop yield while sharply reducing herbicide use.

The trials included the participants of a number of multinational stakeholders from the agriculture industry. 

In the trials, Greeneye achieved a greater than 95% accuracy rate throughout all spraying applications (pre & post emergence) and a reduction of more than 80% of herbicides compared to standard broadcast spraying.

“The results of the field trials are the ultimate testimonial that precision spraying is about to change everything we know about the way farmers spray chemicals, we are excited with the enormous potential this technology brings to farmers, this is an important milestone in our mission to reduce chemical usage while increasing farmers profitability and productivity” commented Nadav Bocher, CEO & Co-founder of Greeneye.

Following the demonstration, Greeneye expects to announce several strategic collaborations agreements with multinational stakeholders. The second generation of the system will be deployed commercially in the summer of 2021 and will be available for farmers in the US in the 2022 season.
