Taskmap Spraying (Orchard)

Precision Application, Tree by Tree

Spray smarter, not harder. Apply the right dose per tree, minimize waste, and maximize crop health.

Traditional orchard spraying treats every tree the same, leading to overuse of chemicals and inefficient applications. With BBLeap’s Taskmap Spraying for Orchards, you can target each tree individually, adjusting the spray rate based on real-time data. Less waste, lower costs, and healthier orchards.

 

Harness the power of tree-specific spraying and optimize your orchard management.

How it works

BBLeap’s Taskmap Spraying for Orchards ensures precise application of crop protection products. By using satellite, drone, and tree data a taskmap can be made. With the help of gps we know the position of the sprayer and trees so it is known where the sprayer needs to spray which amount.

 

BBLeap is able to differentiate in rate per tree or on/off applications in the orchard.

You can generate taskmaps by yourself or by your crop advisor using open satellite data or your farm management system. The taskmap can be uploaded in our LeapSpace platform via the internet so no USB-sticks are needed anymore. The taskmap will automatically be sent to the sprayer. After finishing the taskmap, an as applied map is saved to the LeapSpace platform.

Taskmaps can be made with the use of a TreeScout mounted on the grower’s tractor, TreeScout contains a high-definition 3D computer vision system and edge computing processing capacity that integrates with existing RTK-GPS equipment. The TreeScout scans the trees in high definition while driving through the orchard, spraying, spreading or mowing, and then collects and uploads data to the cloud.

Frequently asked questions:

  • How does BBLeap's Taskmap Spraying for orchards work?
    BBLeap's Taskmap Spraying for orchards uses advanced data from satellites, drones, and tree information to create precise task maps. These maps, combined with GPS, determine the exact position of the sprayer and trees, enabling tree-specific dosing. The system can adjust spray applications per individual tree or even turn them on and off. This process optimizes application by reducing waste, ensuring maximum efficiency and crop health. Furthermore, a detailed 'as-applied' map is saved after completion, providing full traceability and insight.
  • What benefits does BBLeap's Taskmap Spraying offer for chemical savings and the environment?
    BBLeap's Taskmap Spraying for orchards significantly contributes to reducing chemical costs and environmental impact. Through precise, tree-specific applications, overuse of crop protection products is prevented. This system enables growers to treat each tree with the correct dosage, precisely where and when needed. The targeted approach leads to less runoff, reduced residue in the environment, and a more efficient use of resources, directly resulting in lower operational costs and more sustainable farming. This way, you achieve a healthier orchard and a cleaner environment.
  • How can task maps be generated and managed within the BBLeap system for orchards?
    Within the BBLeap system, task maps can be flexibly generated by yourself or your crop advisor, using open satellite data or your existing farm management system. These task maps are easily uploaded via the internet to our LeapSpace platform, eliminating the need for USB sticks. From LeapSpace, the maps are automatically sent to the sprayer, which executes the instructions accurately. LeapSpace provides an integrated ecosystem for control, monitoring, and traceability, where a detailed 'as-applied' map is saved upon completion of the spraying task.
  • How can precision spraying contribute to higher yields in orchards?
    Precision spraying in orchards ensures that each tree receives the exact required amount of crop protection products, which is crucial for optimal growth and health. By preventing over- or under-dosing, plants are more efficiently protected against diseases and pests, while minimizing stress from unnecessary chemicals. This leads to healthier trees, more uniform crop development, and ultimately a higher quality and quantity of fruit. The targeted approach maximizes the effectiveness of each treatment and improves the overall yield of the orchard, which is essential for sustainable fruit cultivation.
  • What are the main financial benefits of investing in advanced spraying technology for fruit cultivation?
    Investing in advanced spraying technology for fruit cultivation offers significant financial benefits. Precise dosing per tree drastically reduces the consumption of expensive crop protection products, leading directly to lower operational costs. Additionally, it reduces labor time and fuel costs through more efficient spray routes and fewer unnecessary applications. Improved crop health and higher, better-quality yields contribute to increased revenue. Together, these factors result in a rapid Return On Investment and a more sustainable, profitable business operation for the fruit grower, preparing them for the agriculture of tomorrow.
