The OnTarget Switch sprayer is designed to use 80% less water, so you spend more time in the field and less time filling the tank. OnTarget sprayers require 50% less horsepower compared 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 cherry trees.
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 cherry orchard 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 cherry sprayers covers crops from the top-down, or bottom-up.
Direct OnTarget’s versatile cherry tree 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.
In 2020, Washington State University researcher Matthew Whiting published a report that compared the effect of gibberellic application with an airblast sprayer vs. OnTarget Wraparound Technology™ on sweet cherry fruit quality. The key results showed that the rows treated with OnTarget sprayers had consistently better size and color. Sunburn protection products can be successfully applied from the top down, and pollen can be applied with a refined liquid suspension pollen mix.
For spraying pest control products in European plums, Japanese plums, cherries, chess nuts, apples and pears, with a conventional machine we use 1800 to 2400 liters of water for hectare. With OnTarget Orchard machine we use 250 to 350 liters for hectare.
