ExactShot™ Liquid Fertilizer Dosing System

ExactShot can save farmers up to 66%* of the in-furrow applied nutrient inputs improving their use and efficiency while protecting against yield loss. Reducing in-furrow usage also allows you to go further between fills so you can get more acres done in a day.  

* Based on internal tests of a prototype ExactShot System applying a 5.1-cm (2-in) dose on seeds with 15.2-cm (6-in) in-row spacing. Reduction in fertilizer inputs may vary depending on population and length of dose.

  • Every seed. Every pass. Every Spring.
