Ecorobotix Unveils ALBA UHP Sprayer: AI-Powered Precision for Turf
Lausanne, Switzerland — January 2026
Ecorobotix, a global leader in AI-powered precision spraying, proudly unveils the ALBA Ultra-High Precision (UHP) Sprayer, designed specifically for professional turf and grassland weed management. ALBA will make its official debut first at the BIGGA Turf Management Exhibition (BTME) 2026 and then again at the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show.
The ALBA UHP Sprayer leverages the company’s signature Plant-by-Plant Care philosophy. Powered by Ecorobotix’s Plant-by-Plant AI™, the ALBA can identify and spray individual weeds or unwanted grasses with an extraordinary 3×3 cm (1.2×1.2 inch) footprint, truly allowing users to “spray the size of a golf ball.”
- Unmatched Precision: Operates day or night with a 2.25m working width, detecting targets in real-time.
- Chemical Reduction: Massively reduces chemical use (up to 95%), saving budget and protecting the environment.
- Targeted Control: Handles stubborn weeds like Poa annua, crabgrass, and nutsedge without harming healthy turf.
“ALBA represents a genuine change in how we think about weed management in turf,” said James D. McCurdy, Ph.D., Mississippi State University. “The ability to precisely target weeds while dramatically reducing non-target exposure opens new doors for both efficacy and stewardship.”
Greenkeepers today are navigating high expectations for turf quality alongside growing interest in more efficient and sustainable practices. The ALBA UHP Sprayer allows them to achieve sustainability without compromise, minimizing manual spot-spraying and freeing teams for other maintenance tasks.
