This initial test represents the first live field run of the CERBERUS variable-rate spraying architecture under actual orchard conditions.
During this setup phase, the machinery was loaded with a newly developed 5-dose prescription map. The primary focus of this first campaign was to verify the communication between the control unit and the spraying mechanism, testing the equipment’s ability to adjust spray levels according to pre-defined management zones in real time.
