The Hunt Is On: Ragwort Wanted for SKAi Spot Spraying Trials

A green tractor with a yellow SKAi spot sprayer attachment moves through a large, evenly planted green field, creating parallel lines in the crops. The image is taken from an aerial perspective.

At SoilEssentials, we’re on the lookout – not for treasure, but for ragwort. We’re searching across Angus and beyond for suitable grassland fields where ragwort is growing at specific growth stages. These fields are crucial for the next evolution of our multi-award-winning SKAi spot spraying technology.

SKAi has already proven itself as a cutting-edge solution for precision weed control, winning accolades for its ability to target individual weeds while protecting surrounding crops and the environment. Now, we’re ready to take it further – but we need the right trial sites to do it.

If you manage or know of grassland where ragwort is present and would be open to helping us move SKAi into its next phase of development, we’d love to hear from you. The more locations we can include, the more refined and robust SKAi becomes.

Get in touch – the future of spot spraying is growing, and so (hopefully) is your ragwort!
