AI precision spraying: Why farmers are starting to treat weeds one plant at a time
AI-powered precision sprayers are using cameras, machine learning and individually controlled nozzles to distinguish weeds from crops while machinery moves through the field. Deere & Company says See & Spray covered more than five million acres in 2025, while Ecorobotix has passed 1,000 deployed ARA sprayers and CNH Industrial is embedding crop-sensing technology into commercial equipment. The technology can sharply reduce unnecessary chemical application, but economics still depend on weed density, recognition accuracy, crop algorithms and whether input savings justify increasingly sophisticated spraying systems.
