Raiffeisen NetFarming

Raiffeisen NetFarming of AGRAVIS Raiffeisen AG

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

Raiffeisen NetFarming is a product area in the Ackerprofi portal for creating site-specific base and application maps for fertilization, sowing and crop protection as well as 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. 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.

The zone map serves as the basis for soil sampling. 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. The exact application rate is calculated using this nutrient map and the information from the management zone map.

The application card modules enable smart redistribution

In addition to basic fertilization, the application map modules make 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 that can be used for sowing and crop protection measures. The farmer can thus plan maps quickly and effectively and output them to the machine in the cross-manufacturer ISOXML and SHAPE formats. The data can be transferred directly to the fertilizer spreader terminal or optionally imported via USB stick.

Up to 10% more yield with the maize sowing module

The "maize sowing module" offers a special feature for maize fields. The farmer can use this tool to 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.

Prerequisites: Digital field boundaries (from the area application, drawn in the portal or from farm management programs); cultivation history on the field over the last ten years; farm manager know-how --> Field-specific characteristics, farm-specific factors, modern fertilizer technology (or service provider).
