SANTA ANA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Iteris, Inc. (NASDAQ: ITI), the global leader in applied informatics for transportation and agriculture, today announced it has expanded its ClearAg® Spray Advisor capabilities to meet growing market demands for safe and effective in-field spray applications. The enhanced ClearAg Spray Advisor enables professional applicators and dispatchers to apply products at the most beneficial time in order to minimize risks of application drift and volatilization, issues that have recently affected crops in several states.

Accessible and easy to integrate for customers through API endpoints, visualization components, or mobile apps, the enhanced ClearAg Spray Advisor now includes 10 of the most critical spray application environmental conditions that are the basis for minimizing spray risks and liability, and assuring product efficacy and crop safety.
