Since 1999, WEED-IT is the most accurate, fastest and most easy to use weed detection and spot spraying technology available. By spraying only weeds, it helps you save up to 90% on chemical costs! Precise, easy to use and environmentally sound The foundation of WEED-IT and its manufacturer Rometron, already dates back to 1999. In that year, Rometron’s founder Roel de Jonge Msc, acquired the WEED-IT technology from his graduation project on selective weed sprayingand elimination for public paved areas from Wageningen University & Research (WUR) in The Netherlands. The revolutionary spot spraying technology enables contractors and municipalities to save up to 50 to 70% on the use of crop protection chemicals by spraying only at the right spots (weeds) and to prevent run-off. Through the years, the weed detection and elimination technology was constantly improved and the main motivations of WEED-IT have always stayed the same: precise, easy to use and environmentally sound detection and elimination of weeds. The success of WEED-IT has led to the arrival of other players to the market. Yet, WEED-IT is the only specialist and the only technology that calibrates and corrects automatically and ultrafast for different soil and background conditions (dry, wet, shade). The system can be built onto any type and brand of ground glider & trailed sprayer, quad, orchard sprayer, toolbar,self-propelled sprayer and even autonomous sprayers with working widths up to 36 m. And with our newest WEED-IT Quadro system, WEED-IT once again sets the standards for precision spraying!
