Green-on-Brown Spot Spraying
Turn your sprayer into a spot sprayer.
Map weeds with a drone. Spot spray with the sprayer you already own. Plug the USB into your John Deere, Raven, or Trimble monitor and spray at full speed. Know exactly how much chemical to mix before you start.
The Right Tool for the Right Field
Spot spraying isn’t the answer to every field.
Sometimes a blanket spray is the right decision. Sometimes spot spraying saves thousands of dollars.
How much sense does it make to have expensive cameras riding on your booms, rattling over rough ground for thousands of hours when you aren't even using them? With Agcopter, the cameras stay on the drone. Fly the field. Measure the weed pressure. Decide whether spot spraying makes sense. Then load the prescription into the sprayer you already own.
You know which fields are worth spot spraying — before the sprayer leaves the yard.

Fly
Detect weeds that boom sensors can miss. Our top-down view sees over stubble and eliminates false triggers from dust or shadows.

Works with the sprayer you already own. Our "Know-Before-You-Go" system tells you exactly how much chemical to mix — so you don't finish a job with expensive mix left in the tank.

Run the numbersDrone Mapping vs. Boom-Mounted Detection
Two ways to build a spot sprayer.
Both systems can spot spray green weeds on brown ground. The difference isn't what they spray — it's how they get there.
| Agcopter | Boom-Mounted Detection | |
|---|---|---|
| Where the intelligence lives | On the drone | On the sprayer |
| When the decision is made | Before spraying | While spraying |
| Detection view | Stable top-down view above the crop residue | Ground-level view from the spray boom |
| During blanket spraying | The drone stays in the shed | Cameras ride every acre |
| Where your investment spends its life | Flying only when mapping | Riding every acre you spray |
| Works across your fleet | One system, multiple sprayers | Dedicated to one machine |
| Hardware investment | One drone system | Retrofit every sprayer |
| Changing sprayers | Keep the same system | Transfer or repurchase hardware |
| Field logistics | Know water and chemical before leaving the yard | Water truck waits until the field tells you |
| Compatibility | John Deere, Raven, Trimble | Manufacturer-specific |
Detection technology
| Agcopter | Weed-It | John Deere | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary sensing | RGB + Fluorescence | Fluorescence | RGB vision |
Agcopter combines RGB imaging with fluorescence sensing rather than relying on a single sensing method.
Calculate Your Savings
What would this save on YOUR farm?
Weeds often cover less than 20% of a fallow field — so you only spray the fraction that matters. Punch in your numbers and see the math.
From the Field
Real farms. Real savings.
Hear it straight from growers running Agcopter — click any card to watch.
"$20,000 saved on one spray job — 900 acres."
"$35/acre mix, but only spraying 10–20% of the field. Better kill, less money."
"One tank load covered what used to take three or four. I sprayed 4AM to 9AM and never refilled."
"500 acres I didn't have to spray. $12,000 saved in one pass."
The Workflow
From "flight" to "flash drive" — the same day.
Autonomous mission planning
Draw the field perimeter in the flight software, one time. It builds the flight path automatically, with distances and times.
Cover 2,000+ acres a day
Press Start and the drone flies the route at ~800 acres an hour, 225ft up, at 30mph, handling winds over 20mph. Swap batteries about every 40 minutes.
Local processing, no cloud
Process everything on the included laptop that same day. Target weeds by size, adjust the spray buffer, and calculate exactly how much chemical you'll use.
Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Weed-It and WeedSeeker are "real-time" systems that mount sensors on the spray boom. While effective, they are expensive (approx. $160,000 for a 120' boom) and vulnerable to damage from dust, mud, and impact. Agcopter maps the field first, so your sensors stay safe in the air — and the system costs only $89,000.
Yes. See & Spray often requires buying a new machine or an expensive retrofit with recurring per-acre subscription fees. Agcopter is a green-on-brown specialist that works with your existing sprayer (Deere, Raven, or Trimble) with zero subscription fees.
No. If you have section control you're good to go. Unlike systems that require PWM or individual nozzle control, Agcopter generates maps that work perfectly with standard Section Control booms. We optimize the map to your sections to save 70%+ on chemical.
Sometimes a blanket spray is the right decision. Sometimes spot spraying saves thousands of dollars. Blanket spraying can waste 80% or more of your chemical on bare dirt. That's expensive, and it builds chemical residue in your soil. Spot spraying applies herbicide only to the weed, saving significant input costs per season while maintaining higher yields. But, if weed percentage is high, spot spraying is often not the most effective choice.
Yes. Repeated blanket use of cheap chemistry creates resistance. Because spot spraying lowers your total volume — often by ~80% — you can afford higher-quality, more potent tank mixes to ensure a complete kill on resistant weeds without breaking the bank.
