Clone of Smart spraying in the orchards: D&G Fruit opts for precision with the green detection sensors from H.S.S.
In a sector where efficiency, sustainability, and precision are becoming increasingly important, D&G Fruit is taking a major step forward. With the recent investment in an H.S.S. orchard sprayer equipped with I.S.A green detection sensors, a patented system by H.S.S., the company is making a clear choice for future-oriented fruit cultivation.
From full-field spraying to precision work
Traditionally, an orchard is often sprayed uniformly, regardless of variations in leaf volume or open spaces between trees. This not only leads to higher use of products, but also to more drift and less efficiency.
With H.S.S. orchard sprayers with Intelligent Spray Application (ISA), that changes completely. Thanks to smart sensors that detect foliage and leaf mass, spraying only takes place where it is needed. When the sensors do not detect vegetation, the spray nozzles close automatically.
The result? An extremely targeted application of crop protection, down to the individual tree level.
How does I.S.A. work in practice?
The technology behind I.S.A. is based on a combination of detection and direct control:
- Sensors continuously scan the crop and recognize leaf structure
- PWM technology (Pulse Width Modulation) regulates the opening and closing of each spray nozzle
- The machine responds extremely quickly and sprays only where leaves are actually present
As a result, empty spaces in the row are automatically skipped, and the sprayer stops precisely at the beginning and end of each tree row.
Fewer resources, greater returns
The benefits of this technology are concrete and measurable. In practice, it appears that growers using I.S.A. technology can save an average of up to 20% on crop protection products, without compromising effectiveness.
In addition, the targeted application provides:
- Less drift and impact on the environment
- Lower long-term costs
- More efficient use of labor and resources
- Better alignment with stricter regulations on crop protection
The technology also performs strongly in terms of environmental performance: drift reduction can reach up to 99%, making an important contribution to sustainable agricultural practices.
An investment in the future of fruit growing
For D&G Fruit, this investment is more than a technological upgrade. It is a clear choice for precision agriculture, where data, technology and craftsmanship come together.
By investing in an H.S.S. orchard sprayer with I.S.A. sensors, the company is focusing on:
- Sustainable production
- Cost control
- Innovation within the fruit sector
It shows how modern fruit businesses are adapting to the challenges of today and tomorrow.
