Cereals 2025: Check out sprays and sprayers arena highlights

A firm favourite in the show’s lineup, the Syngenta Sprays & Sprayers arena remains one of Cereals’ most highly anticipated attractions, the event organisers said.

The 2025 programme promises a powerful showcase of cutting-edge crop protection technology, with live demonstrations from leading sprayer manufacturers and precision ag innovators.

Against a backdrop of rising expectations around efficiency, environmental stewardship, and compliance, this year’s arena will highlight how the sector is advancing through smarter, more targeted spray applications. Visitors can expect to see self-propelled and trailed machines, compare models side-by-side, and speak directly with technical experts on everything from nozzle choice to software integration.

Harry Fordham, agronomy stewardship manager for Europe at Syngenta, explained: “Syngenta has sponsored and supported the arena for a very long time now, and the reason for that is though product choice and efficacy is vital when it comes to crop protection strategies, so is the way that they are applied.

“In fact, up to 50% of product performance depends on application technique, making demonstration and education crucial.”

Cereals 2025 highlights

Amazone

Returning to the arena, Amazone will showcase its self-propelled Pantera 7004 and 4504, the trailed UX Super, the UF 02 mounted sprayers, and the FT 1502 front tank.

The manufacturer said that Pantera 7004 builds on everything growers appreciate about the 4504 in a larger 6,750-litre model. With boom widths from 21m to 48m and a spray pack that mirrors the UX trailed sprayer range, performance has been optimised across the board, says Amazone’s David Thomson.

Following success on self-propelled and trailed models, the ContourControl boom guidance system is now available on the UF mounted sprayers.

The AmaSelect technology, featuring smart individual nozzle switching, further enhances accuracy with curve compensation for even dose rates across the boom while turning. Amazone’s CurveControl technology achieves this by calculating each nozzle’s boom speed and automatically changing the nozzles or nozzle combinations to maintain dose rate and droplet size, the company added.

Fendt

The popular Rogator 600 from Fendt returns to the arena, joined by the new Rogator 645 Gen 2, a compact yet powerful solution tailored for small to medium-sized farms.

Powered by a 235hp engine and fitted with a 5,000-litre tank, the Rogator 645 Gen 2 offers boom widths from 24 to 39m, providing flexibility for a wide range of field sizes and cropping systems.

“Built on AGCO’s class-leading independent chassis suspension, the Rogator offers two working heights – 75 cm and 120cm under-chassis clearance – providing unrivalled stability and crop clearance throughout the season,” explained Fendt’s Ant Risden.

“Its fixed track width of 1.85-2m can also be upgraded to a hydraulic track adjustment system, stretching from 1.8m to 2.25m for optimal crop row compatibility.”

The machine comes with a manual five-way nozzle body, with optional two- or four-way electric nozzle bodies for enhanced control. An integrated NovAtel Smart 7 GPS receiver ensures further precision, while optional upgrades like the OptiSonic boom levelling system – with four or six ultrasonic sensors – maintain optimum boom height for consistent coverage and drift control, even across challenging terrain.

John Deere

John Deere will demonstrate three of its sprayers at this year’s event: the 340M self-propelled model and the R740i and R962i trailed sprayers, offering solutions for farms of all sizes.

Growers interested in trailed sprayers can see the 24m R740i in action, which features the unique PowrSpray dual-circuit solution system for rapid filling and more hectares sprayed per day.

For those needing more reach, the 36m R962i features John Deere’s See & Spray technology – capable of spotting green weeds on brown soils – as well as the Individual Nozzle Control (INC) Pro upgrade, which will be on show for the first time at Cereals.

The John Deere team said that the INC Pro improves application accuracy and reduces chemical usage, saving the operator money. It takes the stress out of maintaining a constant speed during conventional applications by using pulse width modulation technology to deliver a consistent application rate at constant pressure, producing the same size droplets, whatever the sprayer’s speed, says the company.

But it is not just all about big kit. With a maximum boom width of 36m, the 340M is designed for tight spaces, making it ideal for smaller farms and fields. It is highly manoeuvrable for awkward-shaped fields and narrow access roads, but still accommodates large-diameter tyres for minimum ground pressure, the company added.

FSOOTY 2025 to be unveiled

The arena will also host the presentation of the coveted Farm Sprayer Operator of the Year (FSOOTY) Award, recognising operators who excel in safe, efficient, and appropriate spraying practices.

“The standard of entries this year is as high as ever and showcases a promising trend of increasing professional development, with most participants holding BASIS qualifications and demonstrating technological literacy.

“With precision agriculture advancing rapidly, having working demonstrations and awards like this at the Cereals Event continues to play a pivotal role in bridging innovation, education, and practical farming techniques,” Syngenta’s Mr Fordham said.

The Cereals Event takes place on 11th and 12th June 2025, at Heath Farm, Leadenham, Lincolnshire, LN5 0QE. Tickets are priced at £15 for both days of the event or £20 on arrival. For more information, visit the Cereals Event website.
