See & Spray Premium spraying in season

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 Premium: For in-season application on corn, cotton, or


soybeans in 76.2-cm (30-in.) or greater rows, or fallow ground using
machine learning to identify weed from crop. 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.

SEE & SPRAY ULTIMATE BENEFITS

Improve weed control – Combat herbicide resistance with a dual-product


solution system that uses two independent tank mixes in one pass, avoiding
antagonism in more aggressive tank mixes.
Reduce solution use – Reduce the applied volume of herbicide by more
than two-thirds by avoiding inefficient traditional broadcast application in
corn, cotton, and soybeans.*

2/23/24, 1:24 PM Self-Propelled Sprayers | 612R Sprayer | John Deere US

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.

SEE & SPRAY PREMIUM BENEFITS

Reduce solution use – Reduce the applied volume of herbicide by up to


two-thirds by avoiding inefficient traditional broadcast application in corn,
cotton, and soybeans.
Gain cost efficiency – With up to two-thirds spray volume reduction, this
means significantly lower herbicide costs, fewer tendering stops, and more
acres covered in a day.
Sustainability and stewardship – See & Spray Technology allows
customers to spray only the weeds, reducing the amount of chemical
applied.
Improve weed control – You may save enough to justify applying a
different chemistry while improving your ability to manage herbicide-resistant
weeds. Research has shown that weeds sprayed with complex tank mixes
and more than two modes of action are 83 times less likely to develop
herbicide resistance.

SEE & SPRAY SELECT BENEFITS

Reduce solution use – By avoiding inefficient traditional broadcast


applications and spraying only when weeds are detected, you can reduce
the applied volume of herbicide by 77 percent.**
Gain cost efficiency – Significantly reduce herbicide costs, make fewer
tendering stops, and cover more acres in a day.
Improve weed control – You may save enough to justify applying a

 Cover more acres more accurately and more consistently with ExactApply
™ system

Turn compensation mode

Individual nozzle control mode

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.

https://www.deere.com/en/sprayers/400-600-series/612r-sprayer/ 7/31
2/23/24, 1:24 PM Self-Propelled Sprayers | 612R Sprayer | John Deere US

The heart of the ExactApply system is a six-nozzle turret with multiple modes
of operation to help maintain target rate and pressure. From the cab, operators
can choose:

15-Hz pulse-width modulation (PWM) pulses one solenoid for more


consistent pressure and droplet size over a wider range of ground speeds
and application rates.
30-Hz PWM pulses both solenoids at 15 Hz for more thorough coverage
during high-volume applications, like liquid fertilizer.
AutoSelect A/B mode automatically switches between two nozzles to
maintain a constant spray pressure while you’re spraying conventionally.
Turn compensation mode decreases the spray rate on the inside of a turn
while increasing the rate on the outside, ensuring consistent application
across the entire width of the boom.
Individual nozzle control minimizes overlap by controlling spray application
at the individual nozzle level, not in 2.4- to 3.35-m (8- to 11-ft) section
widths.

By maintaining a target rate and pressure over a wider range of speeds,


ExactApply lets you cover up to 20 more acres per hour (based on a 3.2-km/h
[2-mph] increase in operating speed) with more consistent spray deposition,
saving you input costs and preserving more of your crop’s yield potential.

ExactApply is available as a factory-installed option, as well as through


Precision Upgrades and aftermarket attachments. Precision Upgrades for
ExactApply are available for 400, 600, and 4 Series Sprayer models.
ExactApply aftermarket attachment kits are available for 4 Series Sprayer
models.

Boom plumbing

Pressure recirculation plumbing

Quality of application is critical. Avoid settling in the plumbing by keeping


solution in motion with pressure recirculation, coupled with product reclaim and
boom air purge. These features save precious time, product, and expense
when rinsing and priming the boom while switching solutions.

Cost savings

Pressure recirculation primes the boom versus traditional boom prime where
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

2/23/24, 1:24 PM Self-Propelled Sprayers | 612R Sprayer | John Deere US

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:

Experience uniform distribution of product across the boom.


Reduce nozzle clogging with increased agitation of product in solution
system.

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.
