Crop Sensors measure and record data about crops in real time using the reflectance of light shined on the growing plants. Sensors can be installed across the application boom to collect information while driving through the field. The data is logged and mapped to be used in further analysis – or for real-time variable rate applications. This kind of data is the key to precision farming. Collect information in the fields, analyse and then make decisions based on the data.
Crop sensor helps growers apply agrochemicals based on crop vitality. For example, the sensor tells the applicator to apply less nitrogen on healthy corn plants and more nitrogen on weaker, unhealthy corn plants, according to a calibration specific to that field.
Advanced light-sensing technology is not dependent on ambient light – offering maximum flexibility to be used day or night.
