Cost-effective alternative to spot spraying for broadacre farmers

Detect weeds as small as 3 cm with precision using our advanced camera technology.

Single Ag's WeedMapper allows you to accurately identify and map weeds in fallow fields, utilising your current segmented sprayer for efficient targeting and elimination.

By combining precise weed identification with targeted spraying, we offer an innovative approach to tackling stubborn broadacre weeds, reducing sub-lethal rates, and combating herbicide resistance. 

WeedMapper will be available early 2025.

Our Drone weed mapping technology

Increases ROI

Decreases herbicide use

Improves efficiencies

Imagine

mapping areas 3.3 times faster than a traditional 36m boom-mounted optical sprayer.

Spray on the same day with confidence

The Single Ag WeedMapper system revolutionises selective spot spraying applications in fallow fields by generating green-on-brown weed maps within hours of flying. 

This allows you to know exactly what's there before you spray, enabling efficient herbicide management and preventing weeds from seeding. 

With the ability to target and spray weeds the very same day, the WeedMapper ensures rapid, cost-effective, and efficient weed control across global applications of chemical fallows.

WeedMapper

10 years of weed control innovation

The Single family, experienced third-generation farmers, recognised the need for targeted weed detection to combat herbicide resistance and enhance cost-efficiency in broadacre farming.

Over the past ten years, John Single, his sons, Tony and Ben and a team of robotic experts, has developed the Single Ag drone-based weed detection mapper.

About Us

Since early 2021 we have been using the WeedMapper drone mapping technology on a mixed dryland and irrigation farm just west of Goondiwindi.

WeedMapper has allowed us to conduct spot spraying capabilities with a single self-propelled spray rig, saving money on equipment and chemicals. 

The advantages we have found with this system as opposed to equivalents on the market are the ease of use in the technology and processing equipment from start to finish. The processing of flight data locally results in a quick turnaround time from flight to spraying. Accurate weed targeting within Single Shot is exceptional with little to no false triggers or weed misses.

Along with the confidence in this technology, the local product support alongside it has been next to none, leaving little downtime when a problem arises.

Have been surprised by how well the WeedMapper sensor identifies weeds, on occasions I have got out of the cab to see what’s been sprayed, and sure enough there is a little weed hiding there.

Being able to make changes in the software to target large weeds only has been an advantage also.

We have used this in double knock situations, where we can use that map to come back a week later after a blanket spray and target the big weeds only. Having a dual-line spray system now we look to do this in one pass.

By flying the paddock first you can get an accurate calculation of the area needed to be sprayed, which makes tank mixing easy and also opens up different chemical options that may be price-prohibitive in a blanket pass.
