VR Desiccation
Desiccation can be an expensive operation on the farm....some products can cost over $20 per acre...and in some situations, not all of the field needed to be sprayed. Especially in crops like lentils, where hilltops and ridges in the field can die off earlier than low spots, spraying the whole field is not the most efficient way to desiccate. But how do you know where to apply and where to not apply?
Utilizing remote sensing coupled with GIS and agronomic expertise, Farmers Edge can produce a prescription map based on the differing levels of vegetation that will let your sprayer do the work. Today's sprayers have the ability to reduce and increase the product output as they travel down the field automatically, following direction from a file inserted into the monitor.
Get the most out of your desiccation dollars by using VR desiccation from Farmers Edge. You will be glad you did...not only will you not spray the areas you don't need to, you can increase the rate in lush areas to make harvest that much easier. |
