Agroväs is part of the AdvisoryNetPEST Associated Network and is organising a training and demonstration event focused on improving the precision of pesticide applications through innovative technologies and practical approaches.
The event will showcase site-specific application techniques, including live demonstrations of advanced sprayers capable of targeted spraying.
Event Details
- Date: 12 May 2026
- Time: 13:00 – 17:00 CEST
- Location: Nuntorp Farm, Brålanda, Sweden
- Target audience: Farmers, advisors and agricultural students
Programme
The event combines presentations, technology demonstrations and field activities.
Participants will attend four expert talks covering:
- AdvisoryNetPEST and novel approaches identified across Europe
- Technologies to reduce pesticide use and improve application precision, including economic considerations
- Biological aspects to consider when reducing pesticide doses
- Practical guidance on how to implement these approaches
The programme also includes demonstration stations, presenting:
- PWM technology
- CultiWise (drone-based data collection and application file generation)
- Technologies available on the Swedish market, including PerPlant, Spray with Care and DAT-Ecopatch
The event will conclude with in-field demonstrations featuring sprayers from Amazone, Kverneland, John Deere, Horsch and Hardi.
A specific focus will be placed on the Amazone Select sprayer, which allows individual nozzles to be switched off, enabling more precise application and reducing unnecessary spraying.
Expected Outcomes
Participants will gain:
- An understanding of the theoretical principles behind precision pesticide application
- Practical knowledge of how to apply these technologies
- An overview of available solutions
- Opportunities for peer-to-peer learning and exchange
