Wine grape growers face major obstacles from diseases and other pests each year to prepare their high-value crops for wine making. Many have turned to On Target spray systems to help them succeed in their ongoing battle against powdery mildew, botrytis and the other plant pests that can wreak havoc on wine grapes. Electrostatically charged drops from an On Target sprayer provide a 360 degree wraparound coating leaves and other plant parts with a fine film of protective material and penetrate deep into the rachis of plants, optimizing the performance of sprays.
These sprayers are designed to use 50% to 80% less water, so you spend more time spraying and less time filling the tank. On Target sprayers require 50% less horsepower than conventional air blast sprayers, which adds up to substantial fuel savings.
On Target’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.
Our electrostatic manifolds have endured the rigors of Agriculture for more than a decade and proven most reliable. Putting the spray on the plant and keeping it there makes this the most efficient and environmental sprayer on the market.

I was able to successfully reduce the population while going from five sprays down to three sprays, and then down to one,
The last five years now, we’ve had an excellent, solid program and no mildew issues,” she said. “And we’re getting huge savings in fuel, water and labor.
That was our worst spot for mildew, and when we switched over to the electrostatic sprayer, we didn’t have mildew anymore,” he said. “We bought the other two sprayers just because we liked the performance, and we were able to cover so much more ground.
