MagGrow introduces magnetic spray drift reduction at CropTec 2016

MagGrow, sponsor of the CropTec Spraying Technology Hub, will be introducing its spray drift reduction concept at CropTec, and also hopes to be demonstrating it live at the event.

MagGrow Global is a pioneering, patented magnetic spraying technology system for the agricultural industry. Its innovative technology provides superior coverage to conventional crop spraying systems and also reduces spray drift by up to 80%.

The MagGrow technology system is based upon the premise of attaching magnetic inserts onto a sprayer which imparts an electromagnetic charge into the sprayed liquid.

All living plants and soil have a magnetic field and so the magnetically charged liquid is attracted to its target.

The superior drift control and coverage provided by MagGrow’s technology means that profitability is increased through reduced pesticide wastage, productivity is improved through increased spray windows while supporting environmental regulations and a better environment.

In addition, field studies of MagGrow’s technology on commercial farms in The Netherlands, Kenya and Ethiopia have demonstrated reduction in water usage, reduction in disease pressure, increased spray capacity and reduced labour input due to fewer changeovers of the sprayer, and less waste and environmental contamination.

MagGrow products

The MagGrow crop sprayer system has no moving parts and our MagGrow Crop Sprayer System is easily installed and maintained.

The number of individual parts required is dependent on the size of the crop sprayer. A typical 24m crop sprayer would require a minimum of 6 main magnet housings, 1 boom arm magnet housing per boom section and 1 nozzle adaptor per nozzle.

MagGrow’s product is sold in the form of a retrofit kit that can be easily installed onto all manufacturer sprayer types (www.maggrow.global).

The MagGrow greenhouse Backpack Sprayer includes our pioneering MagGrow technology coupled with our unique application technique to optimize spray operations while maximizing operator comfort.
