Georgia Pecan Grower Tim Sikes shares his experience with the Smart Apply Intelligent Spray Control System. The precision spray system has saved him over 45% on his chemical costs. Smart Apply also has saved labor and diesel costs. Tim was the first pecan grower in Georgia to use Smart Apply. The system was retrofitted on his current air blast sprayer. After two seasons, the Smart Apply System is the most important technology he uses.
The laser-powered Smart Apply System helps growers of specialty crops like apples, peaches, wine grapes, tree nuts, hops, berry bushes, and nurseries reduce reliance on costly chemicals. The data system captures key data automatically while the grower sprays.
Smart Apply also reduces airborne chemical drift and run off, which protects the environment and supports sustainable agriculture.
