Ecorobotix Enters Turf Care: Introducing ALBA, the AI-Powered Ultra-High Precision Sprayer for Golf Course & Turf Management

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 at the BIGGA Turf Management Exhibition (BTME) 2026, followed by 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.

For golf course superintendents and greenkeepers, precision matters. ALBA revolutionizes weed control by combining agronomic intelligence with operational efficiency:

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.

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.

Since 2014, Ecorobotix, a Swiss B Corporation® certified company, has transformed weed control with its flagship ARA Ultra-High Precision Sprayer, leveraging exclusive Plant-by-Plant AI™ technology to identify and treat each plant individually with unmatched accuracy.
