Taskmap Spraying (Broadacre)

Spray exactly what’s needed, where it’s needed.

Spray exactly what’s needed, where it’s needed. Maximize efficiency with precision taskmap spraying, reducing risks for your fields and plants, reduce costs, and minimize waste.

Traditional spraying applies chemicals uniformly, leading to overdosing in some areas and underdosing in others. With BBLeap’s High-Resolution Taskmap Spraying, every part of your field receives the precise dosage it requires—no more, no less. Optimized input, healthier crops, and lower costs.

 

Take control of your spray application with pinpoint accuracy down to 25 x 25 cm resolution.

“We just did a task map for dock in grassland. 96% of the crops were unhinderd in their growth.”

How it works

BBLeap’s Taskmap Spraying for broadacre farming ensures precise application of crop protection products. By using satellite, drone, and soil-based taskmaps, your spray application is mapped out for specific areas. With the help of gps we know the position of the sprayer and so it is known where the sprayer needs to spray which amount. We can execute taskmaps with a resolution of 25 x 25 cm.

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.

BBLeap has an integration with the following taskmap generators

Technology used

Frequently asked questions:

  • What is BBLeap's Taskmap Spraying for broadacre farming?
    BBLeap's Taskmap Spraying for broadacre farming is an advanced method that applies crop protection products with unparalleled precision. Instead of uniform spraying, this system ensures that each section of the field receives the exact dosage required. This is made possible by detailed task maps, generated from satellite, drone, or soil data, which indicate where and how much needs to be sprayed. The result is optimal resource utilization, healthier crops, and significant cost savings for agricultural entrepreneurs.
  • How does BBLeap's High-Resolution Taskmap Spraying improve crop protection?
    BBLeap's High-Resolution Taskmap Spraying improves crop protection by applying products with unprecedented accuracy, up to 25 x 25 cm resolution. This eliminates the problems of overdosing and underdosing, which are common with traditional methods. The system ensures that each plant receives exactly what it needs, maximizing the effectiveness of crop protection while reducing risk to plants and fields. This leads to healthier crops, optimal growth, and more efficient use of valuable agricultural inputs.
  • Which technologies are integrated into BBLeap's Taskmap Spraying system?
    BBLeap's Taskmap Spraying system integrates various advanced technologies for seamless and precise operation. The core consists of the LeapBox, a modular spraying system, and LeapSpace, the platform for data management. Task maps, generated using satellite, drone, or soil data via systems like Croptic, Van Iperen, MechanGroup, and AGROMANAGER, are wirelessly uploaded to LeapSpace. This platform guides the sprayer via GPS, ensuring the correct dosage is applied to the exact location. Afterward, an 'as-applied' map is saved for complete traceability and analysis.
  • How can precision spraying technology reduce operational costs for large-scale agriculture?
    Precision spraying technology can significantly reduce operational costs for large-scale agriculture through highly efficient resource deployment. By applying crop protection products, fertilizers, and herbicides only where and when needed, waste is minimized. This means less purchasing of chemicals, fuel, and labor, directly resulting in lower variable costs per hectare. Furthermore, the targeted approach improves crop health and yield quality, indirectly contributing to higher margins and more sustainable business operations.
  • What are the environmental benefits of adopting high-resolution spraying methods?
    Adopting high-resolution spraying methods offers significant environmental benefits. By precisely dosing chemical agents and applying them only where necessary, the total amount released into the environment is drastically reduced. This minimizes the impact on soil, water, and biodiversity, and reduces the risk of residues in crops. The more efficient use of resources supports sustainable agricultural practices and contributes to cleaner food production and a healthier living environment.
