Why switch to a CTS?

Following a change in legislation for some plant protection products (PPPs) and other crop inputs, the industry has seen a compulsory move to closed transfer systems in many areas to help improve the stewardship around applications.

At Frontier, the system has so far been used by sprayer operators to apply Crown MH on potatoes. More recently, the CTS has been developed for us with Cearum CT and Nutrino Pro CT from IntraCrop, a project which includes the use of IBCs that can be refilled as many times as needed over a 5-year period - a first for the industry. The system can also be used with Roundup Energy - available in a 640 litre CTS IBC.

The kit is designed to be simple to use and easy to connect, reducing potential point contamination and use of plastics while protecting operators and the wider farmed environment.
