Sensor TechnologyGreenSeeker

Diagnostic tool that allows you to identify the optimum N rate for each individual farmer’s field

Technology Components

1. Establishment of an N rich strip

2. NDVI reading in the N rich strip and farmer’s field that will be diagnosed

3. Use of a crop algorithm to derive N recommendations

N Rich Strip

20 has

10 meters

Apply pre-plant or

at planting

2. NDVI reading in the N rich strip and the farmer’s field that will be diagnosed

Measurement: As close as possible to the first post plant irrigation but 40 days after planting.

3. Use of the Crop Algorithm to derive a N recommendation
