AmaSelect Spot

Part-area, site-specific plant protection treatment on the basis of spot application maps

Part-area, site-specific weed treatment
To reduce the use of crop protection agents, AMAZONE offers AmaSelect Spot, an individual nozzle control system which allows part-area, site-specific weed treatment based on highly accurate spot application maps. External service providers produce the spot maps.

Targeted spot application 
The second step is the treatment of the weed areas in the field. All that is required for this is to load the spot application map in the AmaPad 2 ISOBUS operator terminal. In contrast to full-area treatment with the AmaSelect single nozzle control system, only those areas where weeds are present are treated during the pass.

Benefits of AmaSelect Spot:

• Precise spot treatment of weeds with a standard Amazone crop protection sprayer
• Reduction in plant protection agent usage by up to 80 %
• Better protection of the environment
• Minimal residual spray volumes, thanks to exact planning of the application rate using the spot application maps
• Prevention of resistance thanks to the small-area spot application with 100% plant protection agent concentration

Scanning the area and creation of spot maps for weed treatment
In the first step, the field to be treated is scanned and a spot application map created. Depending on the service provider, various processes are used for scanning the area in this first step, such as overflying with a drone, by satellite or via special sensor booms.
