The SmartBox System is the most advanced electronically controlled, and closed-transfer granular application system. The SmartBox System allows farmers to accurately apply granular insecticides with no exposure to granular insecticides from opening and pouring granular insecticides or from granular dust when handling bags.
The granular insecticides are delivered in 50-lb. transfer containers that can only be opened when attached to the SmartBox System base containers which are mounted on the planter.
Yes, not only is the SmartBox much more accurate than standard mechanical granular applicators, the SmartBox System allows farmers to monitor and adjust the application rate from the cab of the tractor. The SmartBox System allows on-the-go flexibility to monitor and change various operating parameters. The SmartBox System also adjusts the rate of granular flow based on the speed of the planter. This way the desired rate is consistently applied throughout the field.

The SmartBox System was created to allow insecticides to be applied accurately, efficiently and safely to your crops.
