Wester

Field spraying services — from 400 ha

We treat fields with our own self-propelled sprayers and operators: herbicide, fungicide and insecticide protection, foliar feeding and desiccation. Western and central Ukraine, payment per treated hectare.

Sprayers we work with

Our own fleet, no middlemen. Every machine has its own operator.

Flagship · 3 systems

What the biggest machine in our fleet delivers

The New Holland SP310F is the largest machine in our fleet: a boom up to 41 metres and a tank up to 6,060 litres. Three systems that make the product land evenly:

IntelliSpray — control of every nozzle

Individual pulse control of every nozzle. The system changes the opening frequency, not the pressure — so rate and droplet size stay the same both when accelerating and when braking at the end of a run. An ordinary sprayer applies a double dose in these places simply because it is moving slower.

IntelliSteer — steering with terrain compensation

Automatic steering with roll, pitch and yaw compensation. Parallel passes line up without overlap even on slopes where the machine is pulled sideways. New Holland SP310F in the catalog.

Boom up to 41 m, tank up to 6,060 L

Tank options of 3,800 / 4,540 / 5,300 / 6,060 L for different field sizes. A bigger tank means a longer pass between refills, and in spraying refills take more time than the passes themselves.

Weather window: when a treatment works and when it doesn't

Spraying is the only field operation where weather decides the result, not just convenience. These are the limits beyond which we don’t go out into the field.

ParameterWorking rangeWhat happens outside the limits
Air temperature
Range+10…+25 °C
ConsequenceAbove +25 °C the product evaporates from the droplet before it settles on the leaf. Below +10 °C the plant doesn't move sap — a systemic product doesn't spread
Wind speed
Range1–4 m/s
ConsequenceAbove 5 m/s — drift onto the neighbouring field and shelterbelt. In a dead calm the droplet hangs in the air and doesn't settle either
Relative humidity
Rangefrom 60%
ConsequenceIn dry air a fine droplet dries out in flight — less reaches the leaf than was applied
Time of day
Rangebefore 10:00 and after 18:00
ConsequenceDuring the day — heat and rising air currents. In the evening there's an extra plus: bees are no longer flying
Time before rain
Range2–6 hours
ConsequenceDepends on the product: a contact product washes off faster than a systemic one
Temperature inversion
Rangewe don't work
ConsequenceOn a still, warm night the droplet hangs in a layer of air and drifts kilometres away from the field

We check the forecast for your field, not for the region, and tell you honestly if the window is closing. Postponing a treatment by a day is cheaper than doing it for nothing.

Treatments we carry out

Гербіцидна обробка поля самохідним обприскувачем з розкладеною штангою

Herbicide protection

Pre-emergence and post-emergence treatments. We work by weed growth stage, not by the calendar: an overgrown weed needs a higher rate and gives a worse result for the same cost.

Working spray volume of 100–200 L/ha depending on weed pressure and the product.

Фунгіцидна обробка зернових у фазі колосіння дрібною краплею

Fungicide treatments

Prevention and treatment of leaf and ear diseases. Coverage is what matters here: the product has to land on the whole leaf surface, so we raise the spray volume to 150–250 L/ha and use a finer droplet.

We often combine it with foliar feeding — UAN, urea, micronutrients — in one tank mix. That’s one pass less over the field.

Інсектицидна обробка поля у вечірні години, коли спадає спека

Insecticide treatments

When the pest appears, usually within a tight two-to-three-day window. We go out in the morning or evening, when the insects are active and the bees are not.

During the season we keep a machine on standby so as not to miss this window — it doesn’t wait.

Десикація соняшнику перед збиранням для вирівнювання дозрівання

Pre-harvest desiccation

Evening out ripening of sunflower, soybean and rapeseed before harvest.

Gives even moisture in the grain tank, lower combine losses and the chance to go into the field a few days earlier.

How much we cover per shift

Calculated from rated boom width and working speed with a field efficiency of 0.7, which accounts for turns and refilling with spray solution.

The further the water is from the field, the lower the efficiency: refills take more time than the passes themselves. That is why a water source nearby affects timing more than the power of the machine.

How a treatment works

From request to certificate of completed work — five steps. Products and water are agreed before we go out, not in the field.

01

Request

Crop, area, growth stage and what protection is needed. By phone, in Telegram or through the form.

02

Agreement

Products, spray volume, tank-mix compatibility and the weather window. We fix the rate per hectare.

03

Preparing the solution

Filling with water, mixing and agitating the solution. Before going out we check the nozzles for an even spray pattern.

04

Treatment

The machine follows the autosteer with section control. The rate is logged from the terminal throughout the pass.

05

Certificate

Treated area and actual product usage. Payment for the hectares in the certificate.

The operator sees the application rate on the terminal throughout the pass — not after it.

What to prepare before the sprayer arrives

Five points that let the sprayer go out into the field straight away instead of waiting half a day.

  • Products with documents — in the field or in a store nearby. Products are supplied by the client unless agreed otherwise.
  • Water for the spray solution — a source near the field. This has the biggest impact on timing: refills take more time than the passes themselves.
  • Field boundaries or a map — so the autosteer guides the machine without overlap at edges and wedges.
  • Access and a refilling area with room for the self-propelled machine to turn.
  • A person who accepts the work in the field and signs the certificate.

If any of this is missing, tell us in advance — we will adjust the schedule or bring water with our own transport.

Why Wester

Our own fleet, not middlemen

Five self-propelled sprayers, named model by model — New Holland, Case Patriot, Horsch Leeb. You know what will arrive in your field before you sign anything

The operator is part of the service

This is not bare rental: the machine arrives with a person who knows how to work with it

The full cycle for the season

Tillage, sowing, fertilizer application, spraying, harvesting — all in one pair of hands. No need to find a separate contractor for each stage and coordinate timing between them

We cover 9 regions

Western and central Ukraine — Khmelnytskyi, Vinnytsia, Ternopil, Rivne, Volyn, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi and Zhytomyr regions.

Who our clients are

We don’t take every request — machinery and operators are booked for the season in advance. Here is who we work with.

400+

hectares of cultivated area

The minimum scale at which our format pays off for both sides.

regions in our service area

Western and central Ukraine — moving the machinery doesn’t eat into the cost of work.

Less than 400 ha? Team up with your neighbours

If several farms nearby put together a combined area of 400+ ha, we come out to the field. One contract, each farm pays for its own hectares.

Questions and answers

Here is what farmers ask most often before their first treatment with us — about products, water and weather.

No, the products are supplied by the client, with documents. The price includes the machine, operator, fuel and transport to the field.

The client’s, and the source should be near the field. The further away the water, the more time goes on refilling — this affects timing more than the boom width.

Based on rated boom width and working speed with a field efficiency of 0.7: the New Holland SP310F does about 410 ha per 12-hour shift, the Case Patriot 4430 about 370 ha, the Horsch Leeb about 360 ha, and the Case Patriot 3330 and 3230 about 310 ha.

Wind above 5 m/s, temperatures above +25 °C, low air humidity and a night-time temperature inversion. In these conditions the product either drifts onto the neighbouring field or doesn’t reach the leaf — the treatment becomes a waste of money.

Yes, if the products are compatible. This saves one pass over the field, which means less soil compaction and lower costs.

400 hectares. If you have less, team up with neighbouring farms: one contract, each pays for its own hectares.

Yes, we work in nine regions of western and central Ukraine. Transport is included in the quote — so the further away the field, the more the volume of work matters.
