We are extremely pleased to have further expanded our award-winning SKAi Spot Spraying range with the introduction of a new 9m model, providing farmers with an additional option in the growing line-up of intelligent spraying solutions.
Designed and developed in-house by the SoilEssentials team, SKAi uses advanced camera technology, artificial intelligence and precision nozzle control to identify and target weeds in real time, applying herbicide only where required. The technology proudly holds Made in Britain status and has received multiple industry accolades for its innovative approach to reducing chemical use while maintaining effective weed control.
While the larger SKAi models have proven particularly popular with contractors and larger-scale operations, the new 9m option has been developed with individual farming businesses in mind.
Gregor Welsh, General Manager at SoilEssentials, said: “The introduction of the 9m model represents the next step in the ongoing development of the SKAi range, ensuring more businesses can access the benefits of spot spraying technology regardless of their scale of operation.”
SKAi systems are now operating across the UK, Ireland and The Netherlands, helping growers tackle a variety of weed challenges while reducing input costs and improving application efficiency.
SoilEssentials has seen strong uptake of its grassland-focused SKAi model, which currently targets docks and thistles. Development work continues to expand the system’s capabilities, with ragwort, nettles and rushes all progressing through advanced testing stages. Additional models are also in progress.
Visitors to the Royal Highland Show will have the opportunity to see the new 9m SKAi model up close and learn more about the technology from the SoilEssentials team on our Avenue Q stand.
