Swiss agtech company Ecorobotix has announced 10 new beta crop algorithms for its AI Plant-by-Plant software, further enhancing the ARA ultra-high precision sprayer’s capabilities.

These advancements broaden the range of supported crops, enabling more farmers to reduce plant protection products and advance sustainable practices.

Ecorobotix’s latest software update (5.01) introduces: broccoli, cauliflower, cotton, dicot weeds in wheat, leek, tansy or common ragwort in grasslands, soy, sweetcorn, volunteer potatoes in chicory, and other cabbages.

Clients with an ARA sprayer can access these crop algorithms free of charge for a limited time.

Paid algorithms for 2025

The carrot and dock + thistle (for meadows) algorithms, successfully beta-tested in 2024, are now available as paid features. These solutions have been optimised to deliver accuracy across diverse field conditions, reducing chemical use while maintaining effective crop care.

The ARA sprayer now supports more than 20 crop algorithms for herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, fertilizers, and bio stimulants. With up to 95% reduction in chemical use, the technology allows farmers to achieve sustainable practices without compromising productivity. Flexible alternatives like the All-Green or Row algorithms are available for crops not yet covered.

Ecorobotix’s innovations are now available in 15 European countries, as well as Canada, South America, the US, and New Zealand.
