Focusing on skilful weed management
19th March 2024
Positioned as the “future of application technologies” by Hardi, the Hardi PulseSystem, available on the Delta Force boom on Aeon and Navigator, as well as the Twin boom on Aeon, stands out for its environmental impact reduction capabilities.
With a focus on weed management and spraying efficiency, this Danish in-house manufactured pulse-width modulation technology represents a significant leap forward in pesticide application control, Hardi says. In conjunction with the Twin boom configuration on the Hardi Aeon, known for exceptional drift reduction and penetration, the Hardi PulseSystem utilises innovative drift-reducing technologies to deliver precise pesticide application directly into the crop, minimising drift and enhancing efficiency for growers.
By skilfully manipulating nozzle openings from 30–100% at consistent pressure flow without compromising droplet size, the Hardi PulseSystem ensures optimal droplet placement regardless of working speeds. This not only minimises drift but also optimises flow rates, maintaining the desired droplet size throughout spraying operations. Furthermore, the PulseSystem facilitates individual control of all 72 nozzles at a single-nozzle level, covering a width of 36m.
Enabled by a digital field map, this feature allows growers to treat only specific areas within the field, potentially realising savings of up to 90% – offering a targeted and cost-effective approach to weed management.
