These sprayers are designed to use 50% to 80% less water, so you spend more time spraying and less time filling the tank. OnTarget sprayers require 50% less horsepower than conventional air blast sprayers, which adds up to substantial fuel savings. OnTarget’s electrostatic spray manifolds were designed to be reliable and flexible. Position the spray tube to the ideal height, angle or location of your crop. The heavy duty polymer tube protects the internal manifold from sun, chemicals, water and physical abuse.
With sustainable, smart engineering, OnTarget offers far-reaching efficiencies, leaving consuming every ounce of water and product. Using 50 to 80 percent less water, 50 percent less horsepower and diesel, and 50 percent fewer spray hours, OnTarget’s pollen application sprayers covers up to 4 times more acreage per day compared to the leading air-blast sprayer. This results in the need for fewer sprayers and operators.
OnTarget’s electrostatic technology allows farmers to control the spray cloud; blanketing the targeted crop with the perfect application. Mounted into unique spray zones, and composed of 24 to 32 manifolds, OnTarget’s pollen applicators covers crops from the top-down, or bottom-up.
Direct OnTarget’s versatile pollen sprayers from inside the comfort of the cab. Adjust the boom distance and rotate the electrostatic spray manifolds to customize the spray angle for accuracy. Customizable for every orchard or trellis type, control remains in the hands of the grower with personalized, in-person set-up and education from OnTarget experts.
OnTarget’s cutting-edge electrostatic nozzle technology represents a significant advancement in the field of pollen application. This technology functions by generating atomized and charged spray droplets that effectively encapsulate the pollen grains suspended in Dr. Whiting’s specialized mix. Additionally, the air velocity produced by OnTarget’s sprayers is intentionally slow, allowing the droplets to linger within the canopy of trees or plants.
The key to the success of this approach lies in the electrostatic charge. This charge causes the pollen-laden droplets to repel each other, preventing them from clumping together. Simultaneously, the flower stigmas, which are electrically neutral, statically attract these charged droplets. As a result, the droplets adhere to the stigmas until the electrical charge dissipates, and the water within the droplets evaporates. This process leaves behind a consistent and even coating of pollen on the targeted plant parts.
Importantly, OnTarget’s electrostatic manifolds have demonstrated exceptional durability and reliability in the agricultural setting over more than a decade of use. By effectively applying the spray to the plant and ensuring it remains in place, this technology stands out as the most efficient and environmentally friendly sprayer available in the market.
