Boom Sprayer Technology: 14 Products Providing Full Coverage for Applicators

At the recent Midwest AG Industries Exposition (MAGIE), hosted by the Illinois Fertilizer & Chemical Association (IFCA), there were several key takeaways that attendees, especially custom applicators, could appreciate. But there was perhaps no bigger takeaway than how the latest in boom technology was on full display at the McLean County Fairgrounds in Bloomington, IL.

This included various systems to help improve and target crop protection product application, from John Deere’s ExactApply, Intelligent Ag’s Recon SpreadSense, and Capstan’s PinPoint III Envelop, to hoods for sprayers from Willmar Fabrication, designed to reduce off-target drift.

One of the more interesting boom accessories was an alarm system exhibited by ShockAvoid. This paired two boom arm sensors with an in-cab display to allow operators to monitor if their unfolding/folding booms were too close to power lines while applying in crop fields, preventing a potentially dangerous situation for all involved.
