High-Resolution Spot Spraying

Plant level precision

Spray only where it’s needed – eliminate weeds and protect your crops on plant level precision.

Traditional spraying treats entire fields, leading to wasted chemicals and unnecessary exposure. With BBLeap’s High-Resolution Spot Spraying, you can map weed or crop positions and apply treatment only to the exact locations needed – Plant Precision, at Farm Level.

 

No more over-spraying—just precise, plant-specific application.

“The first time, I didn’t trust it. I wanted to see it with my own eyes: did this one plant actually get sprayed? And yes, the technology simply works.”

Pieter van Damme

How it works

With high resolution spot spraying maps you can map the positions of your weeds or crops in the field. By uploading this map into LeapSpace you can spray plant specific, each nozzle individually on the right spot at the right time. After the application an as applied map will be generated and saved on your LeapSpace account.

With our cooperation with drone services we can provide you with a spot spray map for your field.

Key benefits

  • Don’t bully your crops, increase yield potential
  • Save on chemical costs

Frequently asked questions:

  • What is the difference between a spot sprayer and a BBLeap spot spraying system?
    The term "spot sprayer" is often used for simple equipment such as a small tank with a hand wand. BBLeap is a different category: professional precision spraying technology for field and orchard sprayers. At its core is LeapBox, BBLeap's modular PWM system for controlling droplet size, volume and distribution. It can be installed on all brands and types of sprayers. For Hi-Res Spot Spraying, LeapBox works with LeapSpace and high-resolution task maps. Automated nozzle control then applies product only to the areas the map marks for treatment, with centimeter-level precision.
  • Can I turn my existing field sprayer into a spot sprayer with BBLeap?
    Yes. BBLeap technology can be retrofitted to an existing sprayer as an aftermarket installation, so you can use precision spraying without replacing your machine. According to BBLeap, LeapBox can be installed on all brands and types of sprayers and preferably communicates through CAN-bus. BBLeap names H.S.S., KWH Holland and Munckhof as examples of compatible brands. For Hi-Res Spot Spraying, BBLeap states that LeapBox and LeapSpace are required, together with a high-resolution task map. If you plan to buy a new sprayer, there is another route: a factory-built LeapEdition with integrated BBLeap technology from one of BBLeap's OEM partners. Ask BBLeap whether your specific machine is suitable.
  • How does spot spraying reduce chemical use?
    Spot spraying cuts chemical use by treating only the parts of the field that need it, rather than spraying the whole area. With BBLeap Hi-Res Spot Spraying, a high-resolution task map marks those areas, and automated nozzle control applies product only there. How much you save depends on your situation, including how much of the field needs treatment and the quality of the task map. On its Hi-Res Spot Spraying page, BBLeap quotes grower Gerben Melissant, who says he saves 94% on crop protection products with a drone flight, data analysis and per-nozzle control. That figure is one grower's experience, not a guaranteed result.
  • How can I get BBLeap spot spraying technology on my sprayer?
    BBLeap describes two routes:
    1. Aftermarket installation: BBLeap technology is retrofitted to your existing sprayer.
    2. Factory-built LeapEdition: you choose a new sprayer with fully integrated BBLeap technology from one of BBLeap's OEM partners.

    A good starting point is BBLeap's online configurator (Configure your solution), where you can explore the options and request a quote. You can also contact BBLeap. BBLeap's main office is in Rijen, the Netherlands. The company operates globally and supports installations through local partners or partner technicians. Ask BBLeap which purchase and installation route applies to your machine and location.
  • How do I request a quote for a BBLeap spot spraying system?
    The price of your setup depends on its configuration for your sprayer and application. To see what is possible and request a quote, use BBLeap's online configurator (Configure your solution), or contact BBLeap directly. If you are interested in a factory-built LeapEdition sprayer, you can also ask the relevant OEM partner. BBLeap's website also invites you to request a demo through its contact page.
  • Which BBLeap components are used for Hi-Res Spot Spraying?
    BBLeap states that Hi-Res Spot Spraying requires LeapBox and LeapSpace. LeapBox is the modular PWM system on the sprayer. It is made up of elements including the LeapCore, modules, valves, and power and data converters. LeapSpace handles the high-resolution task maps. Together with automated nozzle control, these components make centimeter-precise spot spraying possible. Which other elements you need depends on your sprayer and chosen configuration, so check the details in the configurator or with BBLeap.
  • Who installs a BBLeap system on my sprayer?
    BBLeap supports installations through local partners or partner technicians worldwide. The company's main office is in Rijen, the Netherlands, and it operates globally. Ask BBLeap who will carry out the installation for your machine and location. After installation, check with your installer that the functions you selected are set up and tested before you start spraying.
  • What does LeapSpace add to a BBLeap spot spraying setup?
    LeapSpace is BBLeap's platform for task-map applications. It lets you upload variable rate application (VRA) maps and spot spray maps, and assign them to machines equipped with LeapBox. The sprayer can then execute high-resolution task maps with individual nozzle rate control, regardless of the type of sprayer and GPS system. BBLeap lists LeapBox and LeapSpace as the technology used for Hi-Res Spot Spraying and for taskmap spraying in broadacre.
