Wherever you are with adopting precision farming technology, we can help and guide you to develop its potential and harness the benefits for your business.
Getting started – really know your soils
Really getting to know your soils is an important step for enhancing crop performance and maximising the efficient use of inputs. On many farms, large variation in soil texture and depth has a big impact on yield. We can scan your fields at two soil depths – shallow (0-30cm) and deep (30-90cm) – and use this information to create management zones. Within these we can examine the physical, chemical and biological properties of the soil.
This provides us with a clear understanding of the profile of your soils and enables us to create zones for each of your fields. Using our agronomists’ knowledge we can use the data captured from these zones to drive precision farming forwards for your business.
Once these zones are made, they don’t change unless the earth moves! Your field soil zones can be used in your crop management throughout the year and for many years to come.
