Trimble Launches Next-Generation WeedSeeker 2 Spot Spray System

Trimble has announced its next-generation WeedSeeker 2 spot spray system. Building on more than 25 years of experience in agriculture, Trimble’s new sensor solution and system provides growers up to 90 percent savings in input costs when targeting and treating herbicide resistant weeds.
