Cut Chemical Costs by Up to 90% with AMAZONE and CultiWise – Now Available at TNS

Farmers across East Anglia could make significant savings on chemical costs thanks to CultiWise, an AI-powered precision farming technology now available with Amazone self-propelled, trailed and mounted sprayers through Thurlow Nunn Standen (TNS). With CultiWise reporting chemical savings of up to 90% in its case studies, and TNS customers seeing even greater projected savings during demonstrations, the technology offers an exciting opportunity to reduce input costs and improve spraying efficiency.

For arable farmers in Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, managing rising input costs while maintaining crop performance is a constant challenge. With large areas of cereals, oilseed rape, sugar beet and other crops to manage, even relatively small improvements in spraying efficiency can make a substantial difference to farm profitability.

But what if you could dramatically reduce the amount of herbicide used on your farm, without compromising effective weed control?

That’s exactly what AMAZONE and CultiWise precision farming technology aims to achieve.

As an authorised AMAZONE dealer in East Anglia, TNS can supply and support AMAZONE sprayer integrated with CultiWise technology.

Up to 90% Chemical Savings – and Potentially Even More

One of the biggest advantages of CultiWise is its ability to identify weeds and create targeted spraying maps, allowing farmers to apply herbicides only where they are needed rather than treating the entire field.

CultiWise has reported chemical savings of up to 90% in its case studies, demonstrating the potential of AI-powered spot spraying to significantly reduce unnecessary chemical applications.

And the results being seen locally are particularly encouraging.

Edward Miller, TNS Technologies Manager, has been running Amazone sprayer and CultiWise demonstrations with TNS customers across East Anglia, helping farmers understand the potential savings on their own land.

“The results we’ve been seeing are really encouraging. Most of the farmers I’ve worked with are seeing projected herbicide savings of well over 90% when we analyse their fields using CultiWise. When you consider how much farmers spend on crop protection products each year, that’s a huge opportunity to reduce costs.

What makes CultiWise particularly interesting is how quickly the investment could pay for itself. Based on the potential savings we’re seeing, I genuinely believe it’s a technology worth investing in. For some farms, the savings from chemical applications could cover the cost of the technology almost straight away.

I’d really encourage anyone considering upgrading their sprayer or interested in reducing chemical costs to book a demonstration and see what’s possible.”

While actual savings will vary depending on weed pressure, field conditions and spraying requirements, these early demonstrations highlight the significant financial potential of precision spot spraying.

How Does CultiWise Work?

CultiWise uses artificial intelligence (AI), drone imagery and satellite data to analyse fields and create precision application maps.

Instead of treating an entire field with a uniform application rate, CultiWise identifies areas where treatment is required, helping farmers target inputs more accurately.

For example, a field may appear to require a full herbicide application, but detailed mapping could reveal that weeds are concentrated in relatively small areas.

By using a CultiWise application map with a compatible AMAZONE sprayer, farmers can target these areas rather than applying chemicals across the whole field.

This approach can help farmers:

• Reduce herbicide costs by avoiding unnecessary applications.
• Improve spraying accuracy by targeting areas requiring treatment.
• Reduce chemical waste while maintaining effective weed control.
• Make better use of existing machinery through precision application technology.
• Improve farm efficiency by using data to make more informed application decisions.

For larger arable operations across East Anglia, the potential savings across hundreds or thousands of hectares could be substantial.
