Horsch offers an extensive range of trailed, mounted, and self-propelled sprayers all with innovative features that deliver optimal crop protection.
The highly adaptable dynamic boom control system and nozzle selection control are available across the Leeb range. With this advanced technology farmers and contractors of all sizes can efficiently manage spray application even in arduous conditions.
Today’s chemical applicators have to apply fungicides, herbicides, and pesticides whilst optimising plant coverage, minimising waste and limiting environmental impact.
Application timeliness is often critical, yet weather conditions are often far from optimal. The effect of wind in many areas can be a significant factor in preventing timely application and may compromise application efficacy.
It is the job of the nozzle to atomise the active product and produce a droplet size that most effectively and efficiently covers the leaf. The combined effect of droplet size, distance from the nozzle to the crop, and external influences such as wind may drive compromise in product application.
Horsch Leeb boom control is designed to constantly adapt the profile of the boom to ground contours and therefore maintain the right application height above the crop, irrespective of ground (and therefore crop contours).
This ground hugging ability combined with active nozzle switching control enables the boom (and therefore the nozzles) to operate as low as 30cm above the crop, which virtually eliminates any drift.
Together with leading spray nozzle manufacturer Agrotop, Horsch has conducted extensive tests on accuracy and distribution. Its new nozzles are optimised to ensure even better application in all conditions.
Distributed in New Zealand by crop establishment and protection specialists Carrfields, the comprehensive Horsch Leeb range includes the CX-mounted, AX, LT, GS, and TD trailed, and PT and VT self-propelled sprayers.
