Jacto presents solutions for family farming at Expoagro Afubra

Jacto will be present at Expoagro Afubra, which will be held in the city of Rio Pardo/RS, between the 21st and 24th of March. This year, visitors to the fair will be able to check out Jacto's complete line of portable equipment, which helps in all stages of cultivation. “Our goal is to bring innovative solutions that make work in the field easier. We know the difficulties and challenges of family farming, and we want to help them achieve better results, with savings on inputs, greater comfort during operation and safety. This is what motivates us to continue developing new equipment”, comments André Farias, commercial director of Jacto's Portable Division.

For this edition of the fair, the company will present its complete line of granule distributors, manual and battery-powered backpack sprayers and dosers, as well as pruning equipment, which assist in all stages of production and facilitate the producer's daily life, bringing more assertiveness in application and savings on inputs.

Among the highlights of Expoagro are the granules distributors, in particular the Jacto GM-2, ideal equipment for the application of granules in traditional beds or in the mulching system, even on slopes. It has an 18 liter tank and a manual applicator attached to the hose, which allows the precise and localized application of doses between 5 and 20 grams, avoiding direct contact between the operator and the input. It is recommended for those looking for precision and agility in the application of granules, for tobacco and vegetable crops such as lettuce, broccoli, cabbage, among others.

Another model of granule distributor that will be highlighted at the fair is the Jacto GM-12, which meets the needs of producers who need to make the application incorporated into the soil, such as in vegetable crops, pine, coffee, eucalyptus, among others. The equipment has a practical mechanism that drills into the soil and allows the application of doses of granules from 12 to 115 grams, at a depth of up to 8 centimeters, depending on the product and cultivation needs.

Among the spraying solutions, the highlight is the Jacto DJB-S, a battery-powered doser and backpack sprayer, capable of generating reports and maps of the application, by connecting to a cell phone; suitable for various crops. Application management, input control, precision and monitoring of operation efficiency functions, which were previously only available for large equipment, are now more accessible through this product.

When it comes to the quality of the application of agricultural pesticides, the use of the correct nozzle associated with a sprayer with all items properly calibrated and measured is essential for the product to reach the target and provide greater productivity.

Among the highlights of the spray nozzles are those manufactured in-house: the Jacto JDC (Jacto Disco Caracol or Disc Core), which is a nozzle composed of a disc and diffuser for spraying, mainly in shrub crops. The product projects the jet at different angles (55 to 80˚), depending on the nozzle selection (full cone and empty cone). And the Jacto JAC (Jacto Alumina Cone), a nozzle that projects very fine droplets at an angle of 80º (degrees), providing greater penetration into the target. It is used in both boom and turbo sprayers.

Throughout the fair, it will be possible to test and purchase the brand's products with special payment conditions. And the new thing is that, in addition to the benefit of the 3-year warranty on the electric backpacks, the battery is now interchangeable, that is, for those who have a battery-powered backpack from the brand (Jacto PJB, DJB, DJB-S, SB or GB models -18), you can purchase a new machine without the electrical kit (battery and charger) and use the one from your old equipment, providing great cost-benefit, as it significantly reduces the price of the new gear.
