High-resolution satellite images form the basis for many functions.

NetFarming is an online portal for creating site-specific base and application maps for fertilization, sowing, crop protection and land cultivation. The basis for all applications is initially the management zone map based on high-resolution satellite images. It is divided into low and high-yield zones.

Sub-areas can be processed differently using digital area data.

A so-called management zone map is created using digital area data such as field boundaries, satellite images from recent years, yield maps or the farm manager's knowledge. By mapping the yield potential of the individual zones, differences in soil properties become visible and direct conclusions can be drawn about the extraction This map serves as the basis for soil sampling in the portal. The analysis results of the soil samples from the individual yield zones supplement the information, which is then used to create a nutrient map of the current supply status. With the help of this nutrient map and the information from the management zone map, the exact application rate is calculated and displayed in a machine-readable application map. This can be output in the manufacturer-independent ISOXML and SHAPE formats. The data can be transferred directly to the fertilizer spreader terminal or optionally imported via USB stick.

Free application planning enables smart redistribution

In addition to the extensive basic fertilization, the free application planning function makes it possible to plan other fertilization measures based on zoning and heterogeneity and to generate a smart redistribution of the product. The module generally offers an extensive range of products and units, which are also used for sowing and crop protection measures. The farmer can thus plan maps quickly and effectively and transfer them to the machine via telemetry or download format.

Up to 10% more yield with the maize sowing module

Another special feature for maize fields is the "Maize sowing module". The farmer can exploit the yield potential and achieve up to 10 % more yield by calculating an optimum sowing rate using a zone map, variety characteristics and details of the soil properties. This is based on an in-house algorithm developed by Agravis Plant Production Consulting, which benefits from many years of variety trials and the AGRAVIS maize focus varieties.
