CNH Industrial and One Smart Spray, the joint venture between Bosch and BASF, have signed a collaboration agreement to integrate the latter’s advanced spraying system within CNH Industrial’s agricultural brand product portfolios.

The system’s integration will be led by the Raven team and will be commercially available via the global Case IH and New Holland Agriculture brands.

The One Smart Spray integration offers an important solution that will fast track CNH Industrial’s precision and automated spraying capabilities, using multiple cameras installed on a sprayer’s boom to provide customers with green-on-green (plant on plant) and green-on-brown (plant on soil) weed detection and selective spraying.

Precision is combined with digital tools and agronomic insights that are accessible via mobile devices to provide in-depth weed maps, track input and cost savings in real time and generate automated reports and data. These deliver farmers clean fields while maximising herbicide savings, operational efficiency and sustainability. The system also allows farmers to set up their desired spraying operations both in day and night conditions to expand their operating windows.

The collaboration with One Smart Spray is the latest development in CNH Industrial’s AgTech product offering that sets out to continue to support the world’s farmers to farm more efficiently and sustainably.

In other CNH Industrial news, parent company to Case IH has entered into an agreement with AGuru Machinery, a strip-till company based in Illinois.

“This expands our capabilities within our strip-till portfolio and serves as a reminder that we are committed to advancing soil management technology,” says Monte Weller, Case IH global product leader for crop production. “Strip-till is a game-changer for soil health, cost savings and yield productivity.”

CNH has bought the drawings for AGuru’s current product line and now has the right to manufacture the current product line, but AGuru will remain as an independent business, manufacturer, and brand.

“This agreement will allow us to incorporate more options to serve our farmers more effectively and efficiently,” says Scott Harris, global brand president for Case IH. “The future of farming depends on ingenuity and creative solutions. At Case IH we’ve been solving these problems for over 180 years, and we are confident and proud to call AGuru Machinery a partner moving forward.”
