MagrowTec News
We’re at Agritechnica!
We’re excited to be exhibiting independently for the first time at Agritechnica!
After a long wait – the last time we exhibited here was in 2019 – we return with a 39 sqm booth in hall 9 beside companies such as Hardi, Amazone, JCB, and others.
At our stand, visitors can interact with touchscreen displays where they can find information about:
– MagrowTec results on different crop types
– Customer testimonials in different countries
– Product features
– How MagrowTec works
– Science & Research – the importance of the droplet size and how MagrowTec can help
We also have a Science Corner, where visitors can scan QR codes on the globe for specific country-related results.
You can find us from the 12-18 November in Hall 9 – stand B03.
We’re at the Gatton Smart Farm in Queensland, AU
We’re at the Gatton Smart Farm. in Queensland, AU.
It’s been a great day talking to growers and industry stakeholders.
Australia has a global reputation for producing high-quality and trusted horticulture products.
To maintain and grow this position, technology adoption is critical to expand markets and solve challenges faced in labour management, product quality, climate variability and supply chain wastage.
Based in sub-tropical Queensland, the Gatton Smart Farm will accelerate the adoption of ag-technologies by creating an ecosystem enabling co-innovation between the Australian horticulture industry, research community and AgTech solution providers.
Providing a pipeline of spaces and facilities among the thriving agricultural research and development (R&D) precinct, collaborators at the Gatton Smart Farm will deliver responsive AgTech solutions for in-field, protected cropping and supply chain systems.
Gatton Smart Farm is open to producers and supply chain businesses nationally. It will enable a smart horticulture industry and cement Australia’s position as a leader in food production.

Record Harvest is the new MagrowTec dealer in Missouri, Kansas and Iowa.
MagrowTec is excited to announce our new dealer, Record Harvest, with branches in Missouri, Kansas and Iowa.
Together, MagrowTec and Record Harvest will bring innovation to farmers, improving their spraying operation and making them profitable by being sustainable.
With only 2 components, MagrowTec doesn’t require power or internet, is brand agnostic, and can be easily transferred to a new sprayer.
MagrowTec customers are seeing multiple benefits such as 20% + increased coverage & up to 70% drift reduction, besides additional benefits such as water and chemical savings, extended spray windows, and decreased labour requirements.
We’re exhibiting at Tech Hub Live 2023
We’re exhibiting at Tech Hub Live 2023 this week.
Come by booth 211 and meet our team to learn more about how MagrowTec can make spraying operations more effective by solving the compromise between crop coverage and drift.
We’re thrilled to announce we have started a fourth collaborative project with AMBER Centre, hosted by Trinity College Dublin.
AMBER, the SFI Centre for Advanced Materials and Bioengineering Research hosted by Trinity College Dublin (TCD) is collaborating on a fourth project with MagrowTec (formerly MagGrow), an Irish SME based in Dublin, specializing in magnetic-assisted agricultural spraying.
The fourth collaborative project between AMBER and MagrowTec will build upon previous projects that have yielded important results into the magnetic field effects upon spray performance. The fourth project acts as a platform to gain further insight into the use of nanobubbles, opening up new areas for research and development. This project is being led by Prof. Michael Coey, AMBER and School of Physics, Trinity College Dublin and Dr. Plamen Stamenov, AMBER and School of Physics Trinity College Dublin.
Prof. Coey said of the new research project “We are delighted to enter our fourth project with MagrowTec. Nanobubbles of air dispersed in water have a remarkable ability to alter its properties until they disperse a day or two later, leaving the water just as they found it, with no residue. They have great potential for ‘green agriculture’, for example by using reactive oxygen species as pesticides, which we plan to explore in an exciting new partnership with MagrowTec over the next two years.”
Nanobubbles, often referred to as ultra-fine bubbles, are typically characterized by diameters in the range of ten to a thousand nanometers, this is comparable in size to viruses. Due to their stability nanobubbles have been shown to exhibit properties including area to volume features and that can potentially be exploited to support a widening range of applications potentially including seed germination control, nutrient uptake, oxygen uptake, foliar feeding, pathogen management, and water treatment. All of which align with global food security and environmental challenges, whilst offering significant commercial potential to have an international impact.
“We’re thrilled to embark on our fourth project with Prof. Coey and his team at Trinity. Our collaboration with Trinity College not only reinforces the efforts of our Research and Development teams in Ireland and the UK, but also deepens our scientific understanding of our technology. This strategic partnership enables us to enhance our existing product line, explore new avenues of product development, and ultimately make a greater impact on the global challenges we currently face. We are thrilled to be working alongside Professor Mike Coey and his esteemed team at Trinity, as their expertise and industry leadership will accelerate the optimization and advancement of MagrowTec products. Together, we are addressing critical issues such as water scarcity, minimizing pesticide waste, and mitigating environmental damage caused by spray run-off and drift.” – Gary Wickham, CEO, MagrowTec.
