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, treating only what’s needed, exactly where it’s needed. Powered by Ecorobotix’s Plant-by-Plant AI™ (Artificial Intelligence), 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.”
Designed first for golf courses, the ALBA also brings unmatched precision to sod farms, sports turf, tennis courts, and municipal grass fields. With its double spray bar and 2.25 m (7.2 ft) working width, this UHP Sprayer can operate day or night, detecting targets in real time and applying treatments only where necessary, preserving the health, uniformity, and appearance of every surface.
According to James D. McCurdy, Ph.D., Professor and Turfgrass Extension Specialist at Mississippi State University, ALBA marks a meaningful shift in how weed management in turf can be approached, particularly when it comes to balancing performance with environmental responsibility.
A Game-Changer for Greenkeepers and Grounds Managers
For golf course superintendents and greenkeepers, precision matters. ALBA revolutionizes weed control by combining agronomic intelligence with operational efficiency:
- Massively reduces chemical use, saving budget and protecting the environment.
- Minimizes manual spot-spraying and hand labor, freeing teams for other maintenance tasks.
Enables the safe use of non-selective herbicides, targeting even the most stubborn weeds — such as annual bluegrass (Poa annua), crabgrass, dallisgrass, goosegrass, white clover, broadleaf plantain, and nutsedge, without harming healthy turf.
Golf course teams work hard to keep fairways, greens, and roughs in top condition while adapting to evolving expectations around sustainability. Ecorobotix’s Plant-by-Plant AI™ helps support that effort by applying products only where they’re needed, reducing inputs, waste, and costs, all while preserving beautifully maintained turf.
“Greenkeepers today are navigating high expectations for turf quality alongside growing interest in more efficient and sustainable practices,” said Pierre Le Naour Vernet, Turf Product Manager at Ecorobotix. “With our ALBA UHP Sprayer, they can achieve both, sustainability without compromise, and precision without complexity.”
The ALBA UHP Sprayer redefines what’s possible in turf maintenance. From championship golf greens to public parks, Ecorobotix helps professionals achieve beautiful, resilient, and environmentally responsible landscapes.
