Ecorobotix’s latest sprayer and tank options are aimed at helping growers match targeted crop protection to the scale and layout of their farms, from specialist vegetable production to larger broadacre operations.
The company is adding the ARA200, ARA900 and ARA1200 to its existing ARA620 range, alongside three tank capacities. The expanded portfolio is scheduled to become available in Europe from March 2027.
Matching the machine to the cropping system
For growers, the choice starts with access and working width. The 2 m ARA200 is designed to reach areas that may be inaccessible to larger machines, with applications including greenhouses, open fields and specialist vegetable farms. It also targets businesses producing a variety of crops.
At the other end of the range, the ARA900 and ARA1200 provide working widths of 9 m and 12 m. Ecorobotix says these machines can cover more hectares per hour than the ARA620 and reduce the number of passes required, making them particularly relevant to large-scale vegetable, broadacre, cotton and grass operations.
The practical distinction is between fitting into restricted growing areas and completing larger areas within a spraying window. The new sizes give growers more choice on both fronts, rather than requiring the same machine format to serve every cropping system.
Fewer interruptions for refilling
The new TS900, TS1200 and TS1500 tanks offer capacities of 900, 1,200 and 1,500 litres respectively. The company says the tank system is designed to support up to three hours of uninterrupted spraying and reduce refill stops. Smart filling with automatic shut-off, faster system cleaning and a compact design are also included.
For growers assessing the range, working width and tank capacity are therefore separate considerations: the area a machine can cover during a spraying window, and the time it can work before another refill is needed. The announcement gives an upper operating-duration claim, rather than a guaranteed duration for every application.
Targeted inputs, not blanket claims
The machines use Ecorobotix’s Plant-by-Plant AI technology to identify and treat individual plants, enabling targeted crop or weed treatments. Ecorobotix says its technology can reduce crop protection product use by up to 95% while maintaining treatment effectiveness and crop health. That is a company claim for the technology, not a measured result reported for each of the newly announced models.
The immediate grower proposition is a wider choice of equipment for targeted crop protection, with potential to reduce inputs and improve operational efficiency. The announcement does not provide model-specific field trials or soil-health measurements, so those benefits should not be taken as evidence of improved soil condition.
The ARA1200 was shown publicly for the first time at EIMA International 2026 in Bologna.
