How is information layered and used in precision spraying?

The aim of precision farming is to layer in specific information from multiple sources to determine exactly what to do in a particular field spot.
 

How it works:

  • Telematics enable you to get data on and off the machine
  • GPS provides placement and position of the machines
  • Weather information helps you decide when to take action
  • Data from last year’s harvest, current soil maps and more provide additional details
  • Prescription Maps: Based on all the “symptoms” above you get a prescription for your field.

A telematic solution provides precision farming solutions by automating decisions or actions remotely. Farmers use prescription maps to manage spraying instead of evenly applying chemicals to their fields in precision farming. 

The conventional approach to capturing data is by using cameras mounted on the boom. Consequently, the boom is subjected to additional costs and strains.

GeoSelect removes the hurdles of other market alternatives by directly utilising spatial data with centimetre precision. With multiple light-weight GNSS antennas mounted along the boom, precision accuracy can be maintained and real-tme data collected - all without the extra weight, wiring and vulnerability of a camera array. Plus you can continue spraying as long as the conditions allow, night or day.

GeoSelect presents a new way to spray - no more prescription maps that limit scale and size, dynamic map technology works with on-boom positioning sensors to spray and record at the centimetre level.
