Have questions for us?
The SharpShooter is already in fields near you.
How accurate is the system?
The SharpShooter delivers millimeter-level precision, placing 99% of shots within 2 millimeters of the target. Its spatial AI predicts plant movement as the tractor advances, ensuring each application lands exactly where intended—even under the canopy.
What is the SharpShooter™?
The SharpShooter is a precision application system that uses advanced vision and spatial AI to identify every plant and weed in real time, then apply the exact amount of input—right where it’s needed. It handles weeding, thinning, and crop input passes with accuracy and crop-safe control.
What crops does it work in?
The system supports over 30 crops, including carrots, onions, garlic, romaine, leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, and more. It adapts to high- and low-density plantings across organic, no-till, and conventional operations.
How does Aim & Apply™ Technology work?
Aim & Apply combines high-resolution imaging, spatial AI, and individually controlled spray turrets to calculate where every plant and weed will be the moment a shot is delivered. The system aims before it applies, placing material within millimeters of the target while protecting the crop with built-in safety buffers and a 3D crop shield.
Can I switch crops easily with the SharpShooter?
Yes. You can reconfigure bed width, spray pattern, and fluid volume in minutes. No specialized technicians required.
Is the SharpShooter hard to use?
Not at all. It's designed for real-world operators:
- Tablet-based interface
- One-person operation
- Boxes slide for easy setup on new bed widths
What factors influence the cost of the SharpShooter?
Price depends on configuration, crop requirements, customer region, and available dealer support. Growers can contact Verdant for a configuration and quote. Please email sales@verdantrobotics.com to learn more.
Are financing or payment plans available?
Yes. Verdant or its partners can provide financing options to support equipment adoption.
What crops or regions does Verdant focus on?
Verdant focuses on specialty crop regions where precision weeding, thinning, and fertility application deliver the highest value — including vegetables, fruit, leafy greens, and root crops.
What ROI can growers expect?
Most growers see ROI in 6 to 18 months, depending on acreage, crop type, and machine utilization. That’s based on validated reductions in: Herbicide savings of up to 99% and manual labor costs by up to 85%.
Does it work in different soil and field conditions?
Yes. Its lightweight, modular design allows reliable operation in cultivated, no-till, organic, or damp field conditions. The system automatically adjusts to plant spacing, bed size, and weed pressure in real time.
Can I see the SharpShooter operating in person?
Yes. Verdant hosts scheduled demo days and can coordinate field visits in regions where systems are operating. Please email sales@verdantrobotics.com to learn more.
Does Verdant offer on-farm demos or pilots?
Yes, in select regions depending on crop type, availability, and timing.
How fast does it operate and how many acres can it cover?
The system covers up to 5 acres per hour depending on conditions and row configuration. High-speed processing ensures accuracy is maintained even as ground speed increases.
Does Verdant partner with universities or research institutions?
Verdant collaborates with universities, extension groups, and research organizations to evaluate performance across crops and conditions.
How long has Verdant been developing this technology?
The technology has been developed and refined over several years through intensive field testing, grower collaborations, and continuous advancements in AI and robotics.
Is it easy to transport between fields?
Yes. The implement folds into a compact travel position designed to fit on a standard gooseneck trailer or easily move between adjacent fields. Transport can be completed quickly with a single operator.
What makes Verdant different from other precision-application tools?
Verdant combines high-speed vision, spatial AI, and predictive targeting to apply inputs with unmatched accuracy at commercial field speeds. The system not only sees every plant—it understands where each will be and applies material with surgical precision. This gives growers control, flexibility, and savings that traditional tools cannot achieve.
What does annual maintenance cost?
Maintenance costs are typically low due to the system’s durable, modular design. Growers mainly maintain filter and cleaning tasks.
What tractor requirements does the SharpShooter need?
The system requires a tractor capable of lifting approximately 3,000 pounds and supplying 6.5 GPM hydraulic flow. Common mid-size tractors used in specialty crop production are fully compatible.
What support and training does Verdant provide?
Growers receive onboarding, in-field or virtual training, operational guidance, seasonal software updates, and ongoing phone and in-field support. A dedicated customer success team ensures smooth implementation and reliable performance throughout the season.
What maintenance is required?
The Sharpshooter is built for durability with modular components, IP67-rated electronics, and turrets tested for tens of millions of cycles. Routine upkeep primarily involves cleaning spray boxes, checking filters, and inspecting nozzles—tasks that can be completed quickly by the operator.
How much labor can it save?
By replacing manual weeding and thinning crews, growers often reduce labor needs by 85% or more. This improves predictability of operations and helps offset labor shortages during peak season.
Can it target weeds underneath the crop canopy?
Yes. Advanced imaging and spatial modeling allow the system to identify weeds partially hidden beneath leaves and deliver precise shots that avoid crop damage. This enables weed control in areas where traditional tools can’t reach.
Does it work in high-density crops?
Yes. The system is engineered for high-density specialty crops and can target weeds directly between closely spaced plants without disturbing the crop. Safety zones automatically adjust to protect small, delicate, or canopy-covered plants.
Where is the SharpShooter made?
The system is engineered and built in the United States, with final assembly and testing performed at Verdant’s facility in California.
Can it operate day or night?
Yes. Custom lighting and high-speed imaging allow the system to run 24/7, maintaining full accuracy in daylight, low light, or complete darkness. Many growers prefer night operation for reduced wind and increased flexibility in their schedule.
What tasks can the SharpShooter perform?
It performs multiple jobs in a single platform and pass, including: Eliminating weeds with precision shots Thinning and double removal Applying fertility inputs directly to the crop Banding or micro-targeting
