Ecorobotix, the global leader in AI-powered, ultra-high precision spraying, will present advancements in its Plant-by-Plant™ AI (artificial intelligence) technology at Agritechnica, showcasing how artificial intelligence is transforming sustainable crop care.
This year’s focus is intelligence in action. Building on its growing portfolio of more than 30 crop-specific algorithms, Ecorobotix now offers the most extensive range of AI-based detection systems in agricultural spraying.
This expansion enables the precise application of non-selective contact herbicides in a way that protects surrounding crops, a world-first in targeted weed control (see full list of algorithms).
Making this possible is Ecorobotix’s proprietary Safety Zone feature, which automatically generates a virtual protective buffer around each crop. This ensures that treatments are placed exactly where needed, shielding crops from collateral spray and subsequent damage while allowing even small weeds near the crop to be controlled effectively.
Beyond herbicide management, the ARA sprayer can apply fertilizers, biostimulants, and insecticides with unmatched accuracy, treating only the targeted area with a 6x6 cm spray footprint and reducing overall inputs by up to 95%.
As regulatory restrictions tighten on selective herbicides, such as the European withdrawal of metribuzin, commonly used in carrots and potatoes, growers are under pressure to find alternative weed management solutions. ARA’s precision technology offers a viable path forward, making it possible to safely integrate contact herbicides while maintaining agronomic performance and minimizing environmental risk.
"We’re seeing an increasing number of farmers transition to non-selective contact herbicides using ARA. Our AI-driven Plant-by-Plant™ recognition and Safety Zone function make it possible to safely apply these products, while still leaving room to use selective products when available. This flexibility gives growers more control and helps them adapt to changing regulations."

Visitors to Agritechnica, Stand 21H32, can see the ARA sprayer on display and meet the Ecorobotix team to learn more about its advanced AI technology, the current regulatory context, and practical ways to implement new weed management strategies.
"Our latest updates are all about smarter decision-making in the field. Visitors will recognize the same ARA they know, but with leaps in intelligence, precision, and crop coverage, creating even more value for users around the world."
