Hummingbird, a new precision spray system, is receiving recognition for its ability to reduce crop protection chemical use. The system entails a combination of cables and hoses carried in a rail assembly that hangs under an irrigation pivot. With pivot water off, the Hummingbird executes crop protection product application instructions from the user. It can also be equipped with sensors and software that collect data about crop health and nutrient levels.
Hummingbird helped Cordoba Technologies, Inc. earn the silver award in the 2018 vector awards, a global competition which recognizes innovative energy chain applications. The company, headquartered in Walla Walla, Washington, received the award for its “creative mechatronics design and the positive environmental impact its new technology offers.”
