class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>WEED-IT retrofit gives Queensland farmer affordable way to hammer tough weeds<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Retrofitting a WEED-IT optical spraying system to a John Deere self-propelled sprayer is giving a Queensland farming family control over hard-to-kill weeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nigel and Trudy Parker and their son Josh grow sorghum, wheat and chickpeas on 1700 ha on Mistie Downs, their dryland farm north of Clermont.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rainfall at Mistie Downs averages 600 mm per year, which predominantly arrives in summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The beauty of this country is it has a good depth of soil. It captures the summer rain and stores it. A crop is still able to get moisture even in a dry spell&#8221; Nigel says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After rain, there is a weed burst and at that time, it makes sense to blanket spray. The dilemma for Nigel, Trudy and Josh was how to deal with the straggler weeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Before we had WEED-IT we would have to spray the whole paddock for minimal weeds. Now we can just target the weeds.<\/p>\n<cite>Nigel Parker, Mistie Downs, Queensland<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WEED-IT optical spot sprayers can be mounted as a retro fit kit option on tow-behind sprayers, but the Parker family felt it was more economical to add it to their existing self-propelled. They would stay in their comfortable cab without the cost of another tractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>WEED-IT and the self-propelled John Deere are a good match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey are two independent systems. That\u2019s the beauty of it. There are no complications with them trying to talk to each other.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The John Deere carries the boom and spray tank and looks after the section control. The WEED-IT system is a series of sensors at 1m intervals along the boom. Each sensor controls, four nozzles space at 250 mm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When a sensor detects a weed, the weed gets sprayed with the closest nozzles. If it is a small weed, one nozzle gets it. Bigger weeds get targeted by more nozzles, ensuring every weed gets hit at the right rate. The sensitivity of the sensors can be altered and they work just as well during the day and at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Parkers\u2019 Deere sprayer has a 36m boom and a 3000-litre tank. That tank can either be used for blanket-spraying or for WEED-IT spot-spraying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nigel says it takes about 10-minutes to swap from blanket applications to WEED-IT. \u201cWe just turn some taps, and the nozzle bodies screw in or out to swap over. It is not difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When blanket-spraying, Nigel and Josh travel at about 20 kph and they go 12-15 kph for spot-spraying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the WEED-IT, they can save up to 90 percent of spray costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI hope the system will pay for itself in five to six years, depending on the seasons. If it is dry, we don\u2019t see as many weeds and we won\u2019t need it as much. But in a wet year we may use it far more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Their WEED-IT gives Nigel and Josh more control over when they spray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we don\u2019t have to have lots of weeds, we can just run over the paddock without using much chemical. It keeps the paddock tidy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spraying weeds while still small is one advantage. Another is being able to use higher rates and more expensive sprays to target hard-to-kill weeds such as Feathertop Rhodes grass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can target them more often. We haven\u2019t been doing it long enough to lower the seed bank, but it\u2019s a given it will happen.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deciding that the WEED-IT was the tool they needed and which version to get took some time. Croplands Queensland Territory Manager Lachlan Coom and a contractor with a tow-behind WEED-IT came out to the farm to demo the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Lachlan talked through what we wanted to achieve. He was very patient. I kept going back with questions: \u2018What if we did this?\u2019 Or \u2018What if we did that?&#8217;<\/p>\n<cite>Nigel says<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>There are lots of WEED-IT systems working locally. \u201cIt helped with the decision that what we are doing is not new. It is proven technology and people are happy with it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once Nigel and Trudy decided they wanted WEED-IT retro-fitted to the self-propelled, the next issue was making it affordable. Trucking the sprayer to a Croplands workshop was going to be expensive, so Nigel offered to strip the boom down and then accommodate the installers on the farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Josh spent the four days with them helping and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was in our interests to look after them and it meant we could see what they were doing in case there is trouble later.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The hand rail had to be changed in two places to keep the Deere sprayer\u2019s ability to fold for transport and storage in the shed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is now an extra monitor in the cab, which does not bother Nigel in the slightest. It is easy to use and Lachlan guided them through it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nigel appreciated that Croplands understood that it is a big decision and up-front cost. Their flexibility to do the installation on-farm lowered that cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoing it at our place worked out well for us. They are a great bunch of people \u2013 Lachlan, Doyle, Tim and Damian.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(It also helps that Trudy is an excellent host and kept everyone well-fed.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Parker family\u2019s WEED-IT has already cut their spray bill and is giving them more control over when and what they spray. It is also better for the environment to cut the amount of chemicals needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt has been a handy, valuable tool. It has got to be better to put a little chemical in a smaller area,\u201d Nigel concludes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/IMG_9840-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-17403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/IMG_9840-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/IMG_9840-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/IMG_9840-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/IMG_9840-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2024\/10\/IMG_9840-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Croplands Territory Manager and WEED-IT Product Lead, Lachlan Coom<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:49px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-cropland-blocks-page-section alignfull has-light-grey-background-color\" style=\"padding-top:80px;padding-bottom:80px\"><div class=\"container\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\">leARN mORE<\/h3>\n\n\n<section class=\"product-blocks-wrapper related-products-blocks alignfull\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"related-products-title\"><h2><\/h2><\/div><div class=\"related-products-content\"><div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-block-cropland-blocks-tile\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tile-media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2021\/02\/DSC03227.jpg\" alt=\"\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tile-copy\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"tile-copy-hd\">WEED-IT RETRO FIT Sprayer Kit<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"tile-copy-bd\"><p>WEED-IT can be retrofitted to any self-propelled, trailed or 3-point linkage sprayer using a retro fit kit.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"tile-copy-link arrow-link\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.croplands.com\/au\/product\/weed-it-self-propelled-sprayer-kit\/\">Show More<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"releated_product_ids\" value=\"275\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"releated_product_current_page\" value=\"1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"releated_product_count\" value=\"1\" \/><input type=\"hidden\" id=\"releated_product_total_page\" value=\"1\" \/><\/section><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEED-IT retrofit gives Queensland farmer affordable way to hammer tough weeds<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":17405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-17399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-weed-it"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>WEED-IT RETRO FIT KIT ON JOHN DEERE SP - Croplands Australia %<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Central Queensland farmer Simon Donovan has used RoGator sprayers for 14 years.
