John Deere See & Spray Technology
What Is John Deere See & Spray Technology?
John Deere See & Spray technology is designed to change how crop protection is applied by targeting weeds more precisely. Instead of applying product evenly across an entire field, See & Spray uses camera-based systems to identify weeds in real time and apply product only where it is needed. This approach helps reduce unnecessary application while maintaining effective weed control, making it a practical tool for modern farming operations focused on efficiency and accuracy.
How See & Spray Works
See & Spray systems use advanced cameras and processing technology mounted on the sprayer boom. As the sprayer moves through the field, the system detects weeds against the soil or crop background and activates individual nozzles only when a target is identified. Because application happens in real time, operators can cover acres efficiently while reducing over-application and wasted inputs.
Why See & Spray Matters
Precision application offers several practical benefits in the field:
- Reduced chemical usage by applying only where needed
- Improved efficiency during spraying operations
- More consistent weed control across varying field conditions
- Support for sustainability goals without sacrificing performance
By focusing on accuracy rather than blanket coverage, See & Spray helps operators make better use of every pass across the field.
Is See & Spray Right for Your Operation?
See & Spray is not a one-size-fits-all solution, but it can be a strong fit for operations looking to improve efficiency and reduce input waste. Factors such as cropping practices, field conditions, and spraying objectives all play a role in determining whether this technology makes sense for a given operation. Understanding how and where See & Spray fits into an overall management strategy is key to getting the most value from the system.
