SoilEssentials, the award-winning precision farming company behind the innovative SKAi spot-spraying technology, is pleased to announce that Ridgeway Sprayers Ltd has joined its growing UK dealer network. This partnership marks an important milestone in SoilEssentials’ strategy to expand access to SKAi across the south-west of England.
Based in Wiltshire, Ridgeway Sprayers is an independent specialist in the sale, service and repair of crop-spraying equipment. With a strong reputation for technical expertise and customer support, the company serves growers across Wiltshire, Berkshire, Hampshire, Dorset, Oxfordshire and the south west. Their commitment to delivering reliable, high-quality sprayer solutions makes them an ideal partner for supporting the rollout of advanced precision technologies such as SKAi.
SKAi, SoilEssentials’ AI-powered spot-spraying system, continues to attract industry attention for its ability to significantly reduce chemical usage while improving spraying accuracy. By combining cutting-edge machine vision with real-time weed detection, SKAi offers farmers a practical and cost-effective route to more sustainable crop protection.
James Cox of Ridgeway Sprayers expressed his enthusiasm for the new partnership:
“We are excited to be working with SoilEssentials and to bring SKAi to our customers. The system is a real step forward for sprayer efficiency and environmental responsibility. We pride ourselves on offering the best solutions available, and SKAi fits perfectly with that commitment.”
Graham Ralston, Hardware Director at SoilEssentials, welcomed Ridgeway Sprayers into the dealer network:
“We’re delighted to be expanding our dealer network in the south-west of England. Ridgeway Sprayers’ deep knowledge of spraying equipment and their dedication to customer service make them a fantastic partner as we broaden the horizon for SKAi.”
This new collaboration strengthens SoilEssentials’ presence in a key agricultural region and ensures that contractors and farmers across the south-west will have local access to SKAi sprayer sales, support and expertise.
The SKAi spot spraying technology SKAi has been shown to reduce chemical use by up to 95% in grassland and vegetable crops by targeting only the weeds rather than blanket spraying the whole field. Its precise, plant-level detection helps protect and promote valuable species such as clover, while supporting crop growth, safeguarding yields and delivering environmental gains.
SKAi spot sprayer technology is now available through Ridgeway Sprayers Ltd. Demonstrations and orders can be arranged directly through their office in Wiltshire.
