SKAi
Tarff Valley’s new division has also expanded with the acquisition of ‘SKAi’, the award-winning, retrainable boom spot spraying system. Mounted on a tractor, the SKAi system uses advanced camera technology to precisely identify and target docks in grassland.
Key benefits of SKAi spot spraying include:
· Accurate identification and targeting of docks only
· Clover safe
· Reduced environmental impact
· No stunting of grass growth across the entire field after spraying
· For the 2024 season, on average, we have seen an 81% reduction in chemical usage.
The ideal time to consider dock spraying is next spring, before silage season begins.
Tarff Valley’s commitment to supporting sustainable farming methods using innovative solutions showcases the company’s dedication to helping farmers improve efficiency. If either of these services is of interest to you, please contact Scott Gallacher or Colin Prentice on 01557 820247 to discuss your requirements.
“SKAi has significantly helped us manage the dock pressure in our fields, allowing young grass swards to thrive while continuing to promote clover. The system allows us to apply chemicals more precisely, reducing input costs while being more environmentally friendly and the results have been excellent. It’s a sustainable solution for managing docks, aligning with our goals for a more eco-conscious approach to farming.”
