If you are on the lookout for a wide range of functions in the area of your maps within your precision farming structure, your preference will be for highly detailed and visual solutions. The high performance modules built in to the AGROCOM NET package are just right for this scenario. They will help you to localise problems due to soil deficiencies, compaction, poor drainage and weed infestation which you can then tackle specifically. Superior knowledge base for precision farming thanks to AGROCOM MAP.
» Yield maps.
What yields am I getting and where? What’s the highest yield area on my farm and where is it? How big are the underperforming areas of my land? The yield map reveals all that. It highlights all the good areas and the bad ones and with AGROCOM NET it does so in unparalleled depth.
» Soil test planning.
For example – cover crops and lime: soil maps, soil probes and yield maps are your basic reference tools and technically easy to convert. You’ll notice the most positive impact on results over fields with strongly deficient areas. With AGROCOM NET the operation doesn’t add appreciably to your costs. The number of probes you make is reasonable and brings added value.
» Production of application charts.
For example – nitrogen. The amount of nitrogen applied is usually based on measurements done with online sensors such as with the CROP METER. The actual strategy as to the timing and the basic amount applied is then modified by the farmer in line with his high precision maps.
M Gaidoz, Warméville / Frankreich, 500 ha, LEXION 480 Three years ago I realised that we needed yield mapping when I noticed that the Quantimeter was registering between 1.5 and 5 t/ha. Nowadays I offer my customers the yield map as an extra service for a small additional price. I hope to retain my existing customers and gain a few new ones because the other contractors don’t offer this service. On my own farm I compare the yield maps with the soil maps before I decide on my cultivation activities. This method is particularly valuable in treating pests and diseases. Next step is to drill on a site specific basis. » read more» read less
