Irish agritech entrants MagGrow took out the International Innovation Award at this year's Fieldays.
MagGrow secured the top spot with their crop technology which seeks to reduce spray drift while maximising efficiency and output for farmers.
The announcement was made live on Fieldays Online, by New Zealand Minister of Agriculture, Hon Damien O'Connor,
MagGrow significantly reduces waste associated with conventional pesticide applications.
MagGrow says its system delivers a more consistent spray droplet profile, resulting in higher pesticide coverage on and inside the plant canopy. This allows growers to achieve higher coverage while using their current application rate, or the same coverage using a lower application rate.
