During a tour at Peterson Farms Seed near Prosper, North Dakota, Agrometrics Research and Training scientist Tom Wolf said there is a battle against weed resistance in the Red River Valley. Spot spraying could help mitigate the problem. “A way we can deal with this in the short term is to apply tank mixes with multiple modes of action. Those are expensive, but spot spraying is possible.” Spot spraying could save 75 percent of the chemical compared to broadcast applications. Wolf is cautiously optimistic about the new Greeneye Technology dual tank, dual boom spot sprayer system. “We’ve seen a lot of technologies come and go and they didn’t take off for whatever reason, this one holds high promise.”
