Rowbot

SKU: Not Available

Rowbot is a narrow, mobile field robot for precise, in-season nitrogen application and seeding cover crops in row-planted corn, reducing fertilizer waste and improving yields.

Product Description

Rowbot is a compact, self-driving field robot designed to work between rows of standing crops—most notably corn—throughout the growing season. Developed to address the challenges of in-season nutrient application and cover crop seeding, Rowbot delivers precision solutions directly where and when they’re needed, all while preserving crop integrity.

By combining autonomous navigation, real-time sensing, and precision application systems, Rowbot helps farmers optimize yield, reduce waste, and improve sustainability across their operations. It’s built to handle the tight clearances and variable field conditions that conventional machinery cannot.


Key Features

  • 🤖 Autonomous In-Row Navigation – Operates safely between tall crop rows using RTK GPS and sensor-based guidance

  • 🌾 Targeted Nitrogen Application – Applies nitrogen fertilizer at the base of plants during key growth stages

  • 🌱 Cover Crop Seeding – Efficiently seeds cover crops into standing corn with minimal disruption

  • 📊 Precision Agriculture Integration – Interfaces with farm data platforms for input optimization

  • 🔋 Electric Drive Option – Available with low-emission, quiet operation for eco-conscious farming

  • 📱 Remote Monitoring & Control – Operate multiple units simultaneously from a tablet or desktop


Benefits for Farmers

  • Increase nitrogen use efficiency with mid-season, site-specific delivery

  • Improve soil health through timely cover crop seeding

  • Reduce crop damage with ultra-narrow, crop-sensitive mobility

  • Cut labor and machinery costs with scalable robotic deployment

  • Support regenerative farming practices with smart, timely interventions


Rowbot delivers targeted agronomic actions exactly where they're needed — between the rows, in real time, and without compromise.
