The real cost of weeds – and what it takes to stay ahead
Every farmer knows: weeds are persistent. They don’t rest. And if you don’t get on top of them, they’ll outcompete your crops for nutrients, light, and water – costing you yield, time, and money.
Weeds aren’t just a nuisance. In many cases, they’re one of the biggest threats to your harvest. And while herbicides have long been the go-to, the challenge now is that spraying is becoming less effective, less accepted – and more expensive, in every sense.
A familiar struggle
Most farmers know the feeling: You’ve sprayed the field – but the weeds are still there. Or worse – the crops look stressed. Blanket spraying may give the illusion of control, but the reality is often different. Overspray can harm your plants, disrupt the soil, and encourage resistance. And let’s not talk about the chemical bill. Even the most experienced growers are asking: How do I get better weed control without compromising margins, quality – or my soil for the future?
A shift in mindset
Lately, more and more farmers are rethinking their approach. Because while the pressure is increasing, so are the options. There’s room now for tools that are smarter, more focused – and built to make your workday a little easier.
That’s where the Kilter AX-1 comes in. A self-driving, AI-powered spraying robot that doesn’t just help with weeds – it helps you take back control. Weed by weed. Drop by drop (single drop technology).
Simplicity, where it matters
The AX-1 uses advanced cameras and clever software to identify each individual weed. Then it sprays – with millimetre precision. Just the weed. Not the crop. Not the soil.
No complicated setup. No tech degree needed. Just a tool that works – out in the field, day in and day out.
What does this mean for you?
Up to 90% less chemical use
Healthier crops and better soil
Lower costs, fewer worries
And more time to focus on what really matters
Built for the real world
We’ve tested AX-1 in real fields – with real farmers – in Norway, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands and most recently in Australia. What they tell us? It works. And it makes a difference they can see and feel. Because at Kilter, we don’t build technology for tech’s sake. We build smart tools that take some of the pressure off – so you can farm the way you want, with fewer compromises.
Easy to get started. Easy to use. Easy to trust.
That’s what we aim for. And we’re just getting started.
