See the results — refined with institutions and growers over more than 25 years.
Modelled results scaled from a 1,000-acre, one-season comparison against a conventional air-blast sprayer — not measured field trial results.
OnTarget is deployed on 150-gallon autonomous units in field conditions. Self-contained rate control, 48V drive, and coverage-first architecture make it the spray layer for the platform — not an afterthought.
A Central Coast vineyard replaced conventional airblast passes with OnTarget's wrap-around electrostatic system. Reduced water draw let the operation cover more acres per fill with better efficacy on the target.
Research partners confirmed what growers see in the field: OnTarget's electrostatic charge wraps droplets around leaf surfaces conventional systems miss, delivering more consistent deposition at a fraction of the volume.
Lighter fill weights, longer runtimes, and modern reliability turned OnTarget into the go-to spray solution across the co-op — including for operations previously burned by legacy ESS systems.

Apples are a cornerstone tree-fruit crop across the U.S. west coast, with roughly 180,000 acres in production. Coverage timeliness and full canopy penetration are critical to pest and disease management in dense apple canopies.
View the full apples case studyCalifornia produces the vast majority of the world's almonds across roughly 1,560,000 acres. Efficient water use and complete canopy coverage are increasingly decisive as growers manage tighter input budgets.
View the full almonds case studyCalifornia pistachio acreage sits near 454,000 acres and continues to expand. Wrap-around coverage on tall, dense canopies is a persistent challenge for conventional air-blast sprayers.
View the full pistachios case studyCalifornia's roughly 324,000 acres of citrus face heavy pest pressure and thirsty conventional spray programs. Coverage on the underside of the leaf drives efficacy for many key targets.
View the full citrus case studyCalifornia grows the majority of U.S. strawberries across roughly 35,000 acres. Labor-intensive spray schedules and tight application windows make efficiency gains especially valuable.
View the full strawberries case studyCalifornia table grape production covers roughly 125,000 acres. Cosmetic and food-safety standards make coverage quality and drift control especially important.
View the full table grapes case studyCalifornia wine grape acreage spans roughly 615,000 acres. Coverage precision and water stewardship are central to sustainable viticulture programs.

“With the On Target, I get a more concentrated spray and the electrostatic properties help me get into harder to reach spots. It gets into clusters right before bunch closure and coats them from the inside.”
“We have a lot of concerns with residential neighbors where we want to make sure that the materials we use stay in the vineyard, and we've been able to do that with the On Target system.”
“And as for coverage, it is doing as good as or better than the conventional sprayers, with one-quarter the amount of water.”
“Now, with the electrostatic sprayer, we don't get the drift. And it is so much quieter than an air-blast sprayer. Now the sound of the tractor engine is louder than the sprayer.”
“I am able to cover about 180 acres a day, or 45 acres per sprayer. This technology has been one of the biggest changes I've seen in my career here.”
