Buyer’s guide: spraying robots
How they work
Autonomous sprayers drive the rows on their own; spot sprayers use cameras to hit single plants or weeds. Some treat plants with UV-C light instead of chemicals.
What to check before buying
- Tank size and hectares per day
- Whether it is legally approved as a sprayer in your country
- Section or nozzle-level control
