Trimble, a global manufacturer of advanced technologies for precision agriculture, highlights at the Show Rural Coopavel 2020 fair, which takes place between February 03rd and 07th, in Cascavel (PR), the GFX-750 monitor and the brand's latest launch in the Brazil, WeedSeeker 2, the selective spraying system that reduces spending on herbicides by up to 90%.

WeedSeeker is capable of applying agricultural pesticides only where the invasive plants are, identified through sensors. The new version 2 system brings several significant improvements and maintains features of the previous model already recognized by the market, such as the possibility of doing “green on green”, which is spraying only weeds in a field with the crop already emerging; and also allows it to be installed on any type of sprayer, whether trailed or self-propelled equipment. The new version also has an ISOBUS system, capable of communicating with different brands of monitors equipped on tractors or sprayers, maintaining the same functionalities and without the need for additional monitors.

Visitors will be able to clarify doubts about the application of technology in their daily lives, in addition to interacting with a tractor equipped with the brand's solutions.
