Fieldbot has successfully achieved a new patented PERFORMANCE UPGRADE that universally facilitates a faster and more powerful all-electric powertrain increasing the maximum speed of ANY slow, unreliable, and imprecise “start-stop move” irrigation pivot machine by 10X with improved reliability, uniform application, and timely precision

Fieldbot’s smartly repurposed "high-speed constant move" irrigation pivot, when newly used for more effectively applying crop protectants, e.g., herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, on potato crops as an all-electric and autonomous alternative to conventional petroleum-based application methods such as ground sprayers and aircraft, results in significantly higher potato yields at a much lower production cost with no gas or diesel emissions

Compared to conventional petroleum-based ground and aerial crop protectant spray application methods, chemigation (injecting crop protectants directly into the irrigation water) via all-electric, high-speed constant move irrigation pivots provides better application coverage and timing combined with reduced wind drift and deeper canopy penetration (more available water) resulting in increased overall input use efficiency that both optimizes water and chemical usage (less water-energy and chemical) and extends the total growing days for increased crop yields with improved quality

And this positive agriculture transformation is only the first step toward a far more efficient and highly profitable method for sustainably growing high-value crops such as potatoes, onions, sugar beets, carrots, alfalfa, etc

Next steps for Fieldbot are to generate, and then autonomously actuate, AI-driven insights by adding low-cost on-pivot hi-res RGB and infrared cameras, to the Fieldbot 2.0 Intelligent Automation (IA) platform, for 24/7 harvesting of in-season agronomic data directly from the SAME high-speed “wheels on the ground” machine that is now positively applying all the water, nutrients, and crop protectants
