Donau Farm
Precision in practice
In the region around Kalná nad Hronom, Slovakia, Donau Farm shows what modern crop protection looks like in real field conditions. As part of the Donau Farm Group, the operation manages more than 15.000 hectares locally and over 30.000 hectares nationwide. Every hectare is backed by expertise, data and smart technology with one clear goal: efficient, future focused farming. Here, sustainability, precision and performance are not just targets on paper. They are daily practice in the field.
The people behind the decisions
Meet agronomist Erik Ivanič. Since joining Donau Farm in 2018, Erik has made decisions every day that directly influence crop health, input costs and long term results. He combines real world field conditions with experience, insights and technology to deliver reliable outcomes. “I always look at what works in practice,” Erik explains. “Technology should help us work better, smarter and more precisely.” That practical mindset makes Erik a key driver in selecting innovations that deliver measurable results.

Ready for the next step in precision
Donau Farm’s interest in Agrifac started with the need for maximum accuracy. Agrifac’s Pulse Width Frequency Modulation (PWFM) technology, StrictSprayPlus, delivered exactly that. “Thanks to targeted application, we can maintain the correct spray rate in turns and around obstacles,” Erik says. “That level of control makes a real difference.”
The next step was combining PWFM with AiCPlus, Agrifac’s camera based spot spraying system. Together, these technologies enable targeted decisions on every pass, treating only where needed. The result is less waste and higher efficiency without compromising performance. For Donau Farm, targeted herbicide application is not an experiment. It is a necessity. “AiCPlus treats only where needed, reduces product use and lowers crop stress” Erik explains.
This approach supports tighter regulations and helps Donau Farm move toward smarter, more efficient input management.
Advanced technology and intuitive operation
Even the most advanced technology must stay easy to operate in the cab. AiCPlus is controlled via the EcoTronicPlus screen, where the operator selects the crop and weed spectrum. This creates a straightforward, reliable workflow that operators can trust during long days in the field.
Agrifac spot spraying helps apply crop protection products with high precision and strong results, while supporting more sustainable farming practices. For Donau Farm, it is a practical solution that combines performance with responsible input use.
