Trimble Greenseeker

GreenSeeker nitrogen sensor

The GreenSeeker® portable plant sensor helps you make targeted nutrient management decisions and create more accurate variable rate application maps by providing objective information about plant health.

Advantages and performance

Trimble input management solutions make planting, seeding, spraying and application more accurate and efficient. Here are some of the benefits the GreenSeeker handheld sensor offers farmers around the world.

The features of the GreenSeeker

• The sensor emits short bursts of red and infrared light and then measures the amount of each type of light reflected back from the plant.
• The sensor scans the scanned area as long as the shutter button remains pressed.
• The sensor displays the measured value in the form of an NDVI value (between 0.00 and 0.99) on its LCD display.
• The strength of the light detected is a direct indicator of the health of the plant; the higher the reading, the healthier the plant.
