The FARM MACHINE 2022 is awarded biennially during Agritechnica, the world's premier trade expo for farm equipment, by a jury of experts comprised of 14 farming media companies from North America and Europe. From "Tractor XXL" to "Logistics," they rate equipment in 12 categories. Additionally, for the FARM MACHINE 2022 Audience Choice Award, farmers, contractors, and operators from all across the world voted on their best pieces of equipment. Traction magazine is in charge of organizing the award.

Direct injection technologies have struggled to gain traction in the field of crop protection so far. Agent delivery was delayed due to the length of the tubes. DirectInject by Amazone, on the other hand, allows for variable mixing of liquid and granular ingredients during fieldwork. The international FARM MACHINE 2022 jury has already been won over by the new system.

What is DirectInject?

Plant protection compounds can be administered or turned off during application, depending on the situation. The rapid response time of the injection process, as well as its complete integration into the spray agent circuit and sprayer operation, distinguish DirectInject from conventional systems.

With DirectInject, it is capable of responding specifically to the demands of the crop in the field and limiting the use of phytosanitary agents and the frequency of extra passes with the sprayer. This saves time, money, and the environment at the same time. If the sprayer driver observes a high prevalence of undesired weeds that need to be controlled in a given region, he or she can activate DirectInject metering from the cab by pressing a button. The spray agent from the spray agent tank is then mixed with the additional product from the DirectInject tank. A twin-line system achieves the best reaction time when compared to conventional systems.

Cord Leymann, a jury member and long-time operator of and specialist on farm machinery, expressed his delight at the arrival of, a direct injection method that makes sense on a day-to-day basis. The handling is believable, and you end up doing fewer passes, saving time, fuel, and money, according to the jury.

Furthermore, Europe has strict limits on the number of chemicals that can be utilized. This allows for the distribution of a smaller quantity of agents while yet maintaining the brand image that Europe values so highly.
