Selective Spraying System (SSP) vs R150
Two spraying machines, one verified table. Every figure below is sourced and dated; vendor claims are labelled and kept apart from independent results.
Israeli-developed retrofit precision-spray kit that adds real-time selective spraying to a customer's existing self-propelled sprayer — boom-mounted RGB cameras (1.5 m spacing) feed AI that classifies weeds to species level and fires an added line of individually pulsed nozzles, while a second broadcast line still applies residual herbicide. Commercially launched in Israel (2021) and the US Midwest (2022), expanded to cotton in 2025; not confirmed as sold in the EU.
Best for: Established US/Israel row-crop growers (corn, soybean, cotton) running large, modern self-propelled sprayers (2014-model-year or newer) who want to cut non-residual herbicide spend without buying a dedicated robot.Modular electric unmanned ground vehicle from XAG (Guangzhou, China) built around one chassis that swaps between three payloads — RevoSpray Ground 2 (150 L tank, 12 m spray width) for orchard/vineyard spraying, RevoMower 2.0 for cutting shrubs and reeds, and a 200 kg-capacity material-transport module — navigated by dual-antenna RTK plus stereo-vision/4D-radar obstacle sensing. Publicly sold since June 2021 (launched first in Japan) and still listed with full specs on XAG's own site, but it is XAG's 2022-generation rover — the company unveiled a separate, newer "R Series" (R100/R200) at Agritechnica 2025 as its current smart-farm rover line, and reseller stock fluctuates — buyers should confirm live availability directly with XAG or a dealer rather than assume stock.
Best for: Specialty-crop growers (orchards, vineyards) in a market with an active XAG distributor who want one chassis that swaps between spraying, mowing and material-transport payloads instead of buying separate dedicated machines.| Selective Spraying System (SSP) Verified 2026-07-18 | R150 Verified 2026-07-19 | |

| Specifications | ||
| Power source | Retrofit add-on with no engine of its own — hosted on the customer's existing sprayer, typically a diesel self-propelled unit | Battery-electric — two hot-swappable XAG B13960S smart batteries (48.1 V, 20,000 mAh / 962 Wh each) |
| Required tractor power | Not required as a towed implement; retrofits onto self-propelled sprayers (reported hosts include Hagie, John Deere, Case IH and New Holland, 2014-model-year or newer) | Not required (self-propelled electric UGV) |
| Dimensions | Custom aluminum dual-wet boom; one reported installation used a 120 ft (36.6 m) boom on a Hagie STS12 — width follows the host sprayer | 1695 × 1205 × 1205 mm (L×W×H) |
| Weight | Not disclosed | 188 kg net weight; 200 kg load capacity (excluding payload system) |
| Min farm size | Not disclosed by the vendor; independent trade reporting put payback under 2 years mainly for farms above roughly 3,000 acres | Not disclosed |
| Productivity | Not disclosed as a throughput figure; each captured image is analyzed once in real time as the sprayer passes | Not disclosed |
| Max speed | Up to 25 km/h (vendor); around 24 km/h (15 mph) demonstrated in independent field reporting | 1.2 m/s (about 4.3 km/h) |
| Sensors | RGB cameras mounted at 1.5 m intervals along the boom (up to 50 fps reported in the field), sub-millimeter image resolution, species-level AI weed classification, day/night operation | Dual-antenna RTK GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BDS-2/3, Galileo, QZSS) for cm-level positioning; stereo-vision front-obstacle detection; 4D imaging radar; headlamps for night operation |
| Price & model | ||
| Price (EUR) | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| Native price | Not disclosed | Not disclosed |
| Business model | Retrofit purchase onto the grower's existing sprayer; vendor states no subscription fee for the AI/software. Independent trade press (Sprayers101, 2023) reported an installed cost of roughly $239,000 for one 120 ft dual-boom configuration — a single reported case, not an official price list, and not reconfirmed directly by Greeneye. | Equipment purchase, direct or through XAG's distributor network (xa.com/en/about/agent). XAG does not publish a price on its own product pages. One US reseller (Ripping It Outdoors) lists the R150 sprayer configuration at about $32,000 — a single non-manufacturer, non-EU data point, not a verified current or EU price. |
| Ongoing cost | No disclosed software/subscription fee (vendor states "no subscription fees"); ongoing costs would include nozzle, camera and dual-tank wear parts — not itemized by the vendor. | Not disclosed — no published consumable/battery-replacement costs found |
| Key outcome | ||
| Best verified result | Non-residual herbicide use vs. broadcast spraying (2022 University of Nebraska-Lincoln corn trial) -87% to -94% · independent | — No verified outcome |
| EU context | ||
| CE marking | Not disclosed — no CE marking or EU distribution found; commercially sold only in the US and Israel as of 2026 | Not disclosed — no CE-marking evidence found on manufacturer or dealer materials |
| Machinery Regulation | Not applicable in current markets; would need to meet Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 provisions for automated spraying equipment if placed on the EU market | Not confirmed; would fall under Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 autonomous-machine provisions if placed on the EU market |
| CAP subsidy | Not currently sold in the EU; if introduced, spot-spraying would support Sustainable Use Directive / CAP eco-scheme herbicide-reduction targets | Not directly tied to CAP eco-schemes; precision spraying could support national input-reduction eco-scheme measures where available |
