Higher and more reliable profits

Farmers incur high operating costs when spraying due to the consumable cost of herbicides. The incremental cost of diesel with RootWave is significantly lower than this cost which offsets the cost of the machine over time. Herbicide prices can be volatile and are likely to increase as new patented formulations are marketed. The operating costs for mechanical weeding are typically high due to the large number of treatments required in a season, which can be as frequent as every fortnight during spring and summer. Yields can also be negatively impacted which decreases revenue. RootWave can generate higher profits for farmers as it reduces operating costs, provides more reliable cost forecasting, and maintains crop yields and farm revenue.
