# Nozzle-Level Spraying Systems BBLeap Launches LeapEye Camera and LeapBox Retrofit By Colin Smith | Written with AI assistance | Published 2026-04-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/leapeye-camera References: [thenextweb](https://thenextweb.com/news/bbleap-5m-precision-spraying-agtech-netherlands)  BBLeap, a Dutch agtech startup, launched a nozzle-level spraying solution combining its LeapBox PWM retrofit and the new LeapEye broadacre camera, featuring per-nozzle control to treat [individual plants as the sprayer moves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weed-management). The company raised €5 million to commercialise LeapEye and scale LeapBox internationally, building on modular hardware that can be fitted to existing sprayers. LeapBox maintains constant pressure and droplet size via pulse-width modulation, while LeapEye generates real-time detection to trigger individual nozzles; [LeapSpace](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aiassisted-workspace), a cloud platform, ingests [drone, satellite and sensor prescription maps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xoople-ai-map) to coordinate jobs. The system has approvals from Germany’s Julius Kühn Institute and integrations with OneSoil and sprayer makers for faster map-to-spray workflows. For farmers, the setup promises large reductions in chemical use and higher throughput by applying only what each plant needs, aligning with regulatory pushes to cut pesticides and with broader trends toward data-driven, retrofitable sustainability in arable farming.
