Case studies
Barbara Steinberger has opted for plant protection with a SAM-DIMENSION spot spray map to specifically combat thistles in the sugar beet crop.
Especially in a crop like sugar beet, it's important to protect the plants while still controlling weeds efficiently. With Spot Spray, she can spray precisely where thistles are growing, thus saving on pesticides and reducing the strain on the crop. Another advantage: She didn't have to purchase any new equipment. The application was even possible with an older terminal.
“The great thing about spot spraying with SAM-DIMENSION is that I can continue to use my existing crop protection sprayer.”

Robin Kümmerer uses SAM-DIMENSION to specifically address the problem of winds in maize.
The rampant weeds can significantly impact crops, both in terms of growth and harvest. SAM-DIMENSION's application maps made it possible to spray only where bindweed actually occurred.
This significantly reduced the amount of herbicide used and significantly lowered application costs. At the same time, the corn crop was protected because unnecessary exposure to pesticides was avoided.
“With the SAM-DIMENSION application maps, we were able to apply fewer herbicides, thereby reducing herbicide costs and increasing crop tolerance.”
