DirectInject direct feed system – Quick, flexible and needs-based metered addition of plant protection agents

Why use DirectInject?
The demands on farmers and technology are constantly increasing with regard to plant protection. Flexibility in the selection of plant protection agents in the field becomes an increasingly important point here. From a plant establishment perspective, the needs-based application of specific products and active ingredients only in sections or on individual fields is a frequent response. There are also restrictions relating to protection-sensitive fields and bodies of water which farming must consider when selecting the appropriate plant protection agents. 


System overview 
DirectInject from AMAZONE is a system for the direct injection of plant protection agents. These can be injected or stopped during application as required. The special feature of DirectInject compared to conventional systems is the fast response time of the injection and its complete integration in the spray agent circuit and operation of the sprayer. DirectInject consists of an additional 50 l tank with its own metering system which is integrated between the cab and the main spray agent tank.

The advantages at a glance:

  • Flexible, fast and needs-based use of 
  • plant protection agents
  • Optimum crops
  • Environmentally-friendly
  • Saving on:
    • Working hours and labour costs
    • Machine costs
    • Plant protection agents


Application in the field
If the driver of the Pantera notices e.g. a prevalence of unwanted weeds which need to be controlled in a specific part-area, they can activate the DirectInject metering system from the cab at the touch of a button. The supplementary product from the DirectInject tank is then added to the spray agent from the spray agent tank in the mixing chamber. The optimised reaction time compared to conventional systems is achieved by a twin-line system. Pre-mixed spray agent from the spray agent tank and the plant protection agent from the DirectInject tank are held in a second spray line in the boom. When the direct feed system is activated, the mixture is supplied to the nozzle bodies via several injection points on the boom and applied. This guarantees minimal reaction times. In this regard, the valve for the spray agent from the spray agent tank and the valve for the second spray line with the pre-mixed DirectInject agent are switched alternately, meaning that spray agent is only taken from one line at any time.
