When margins are tight and application windows are narrow, every dollar and
every droplet need to work as hard as they can. John Deere See & Spray
products bring resource-saving precision to the field:
See & Spray Select: Covers fallow fields using advanced camera and
nozzle-control technology to spray only emerged weeds. It can also apply
traditional broadcast application.
See & Spray Ultimate: For in-season application on corn or cotton in 76.2-
cm (30-in.) or greater rows; soybeans in 38.1-cm (15-in.) or greater rows; or
fallow ground using machine learning to identify weed from crop. Also
includes a dual product solution system that allows two separate tank mixes
to be utilized, better combating herbicide resistance and time inefficiency
with two passes in one. It can also apply traditional broadcast application.

TECHNOLOGY EVOLUTION
John Deere has focused on taking farmers’ application from field level to plant
level over the years. From field to broadcast, section control to ExactApply™
individual nozzle control, and now the next step – to artificial intelligence and
machine learning. All See & Spray offerings work in conjunction with
ExactApply nozzle control. They use a combination of cameras and
processors to detect weeds before activating only the nozzles necessary to
apply a burst of herbicide to the weed, achieving a hit rate comparable to
traditional broadcast spray.
DATA INSIGHTS
How do you know See & Spray is doing its job? With the monitoring
capabilities of John Deere Operations Center™ application and the Generation
4 4600 CommandCenter™ Display, you can track job quality and savings
during and after application. These technology tools also offer weed pressure
mapping, providing insights to make even better field management decisions.
Weed pressure mapping only occurs when See & Spray is active during an
operation.
SUSTAINABILITY
Using less herbicide means using less water and creating less opportunity for
drift, and that’s good for the land, water, and air that sustain us.
Additionally, See & Spray provides even more benefits for growers looking to
make the best possible decisions about weed control.
Gain cost efficiency – More than two-thirds spray volume reduction means
significantly lower herbicide costs, fewer tendering stops, and more acres
covered in a day.
NOTE: Results based on internal John Deere strip trials in corn, soybeans,
and cotton in Iowa, Mississippi, Texas, and Illinois in typical growing conditions
with carrying weed size, crop canopy, and field conditions using targeted spray
of non-residual herbicide only and using current software/algorithm at time of
trials. Results will vary based on crop and weed pressure.
**NOTE: In tests over 75,000 acres of fallow ground, typical weed pressure of
3,000 weeds per acre, and with spray length settings of small medium,
customers experienced an average herbicide savings of 77 percent compared

Cover more acres more accurately and more consistently with ExactApply
™ system
Fertilizers and crop protection products are too expensive to waste, and seed
is too valuable to risk over- or under-treating. To help make sure your solution
is getting to the crop at exactly the right rate and droplet size across a wider
range of speeds, look to ExactApply nozzle control system.

liquid tends to be sprayed out, saving 113.6 L (30 gal.) each time. If an
operator does this process 10 times a day, coupled with approximately 85.2

L (22.5 gal.) of solution savings with product reclaim one to two times per
day, these two features together could save up to $600* a day.
*NOTE: Assumes 113.6 L (30 gal.) of residual product in the system at
93.5 L/ha (10 gpa) and $20 per acre 10 times per day. Adjust the
calculation to suite your operation.
Reclaim expensive crop protection solutions between applications or
required service in the field with product reclaim.
Potentially reduce crop damage from residual chemical buildup.
Performance:
Keep solution in suspension in the boom and system while the machine is on
and not spraying with pressure recirculation. Recirculation during rinsing
removes any chemical that settled out of the suspension while spraying,
resulting in higher rinse water velocity in the spray pipe. Rinse water can be
recirculated multiple times to further clean spray pipes and reduce cleanout
times. Boom pressure recirculation mixes the solution and primes the boom
before spraying to obtain a homogenous chemical mixture throughout the
solution system and up to the nozzle tip. This recirculation improves spray
quality and reduces time at the start of spraying.
Product reclaim transfers chemical out of the boom plumbing into solution
tanks to improve boom rinse functions, also reducing exposure when servicing
nozzle bodies. Additionally, save on chemical cost and enable easier rinse
water collection between rinses when operators are not spraying out of the
boom in the field.
NOTE: Pressure recirculation and product reclaim kits are also available to
order as aftermarket upgrade kits through Parts and as Complete Goods
through precision upgrade. Precision upgrades offers kits for 400, 600, and 4
Series Sprayer while Parts offers kits for R4030-R4060 Sprayers.

The StarFire 7000 Receiver is the latest addition to the suite of Precision Ag
Technology from John Deere. The StarFire 7000 Receiver offers greater
accuracy, faster pull-in times, and season-to-season repeatability. This means
less hardware, faster times recovering from a shading event, and the
confidence that your guidance lines and boundaries do not shift from year to
year. The integrated design further enhances the value that you have come to
expect from StarFire products.
Similar to the StarFire 6000 Integrated Receiver, the StarFire 7000 eliminates
all setup, installation, and calibrations. There is no need to verify machine and
receiver measurements, as this has been done precisely for you at the factory.
You will spend 60 minutes less per receiver move each season, which gives
you more time to focus on other parts of your operation.
With updated Ethernet connectivity, software updates are easier and faster.
StarFire 7000 Integrated Receiver maintains the speed to update software in
under 4 minutes while remaining in the cab. Over-the-air updates are 85
percent faster with the StarFire 7000 Integrated Receiver because of Ethernet
connectivity.
