Overview

Blue River Technology's See & Spray is a precision agriculture system that uses machine vision to distinguish individual weeds from crops in real time along a spray boom. The system activates herbicide nozzles only over detected weeds, substantially reducing herbicide use compared to broadcast application. Blue River Technology was acquired by John Deere in 2017 for approximately $305 million; the technology is now commercially available as See & Spray Select and See & Spray Ultimate integrated into John Deere sprayers.
