How Does it Work?

Utilizing our scanning technology helps farmers make smarter decisions to reduce costs, increase yield, and protect the environment.

Pre-Season Scan:

  • Assesses soil variability (moisture, organic matter) to guide pre-emergent herbicide and starter fertilizer applications.

  • Identifies areas prone to early weed pressure.

  • Establishes field variability before crop emergence.

Core Scan (V2-V4):

  • Monitors early stand establishment and emergence uniformity.

  • Detects early weed competition for post-emergent herbicide applications.

  • Better Solution

    • We use NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) to assess plant vigor and identify areas needing replanting.

    • We then create prescription maps for targeted herbicide.

Core Scan (V4-R1):

  • Assesses nitrogen deficiencies and water stress.

  • Detects pest or disease pressure early on.

  • Better Solution

    • We use NDRE (Normalized Difference Red Edge) for nitrogen status and NDVI for biomass assessment.

    • We then create prescription maps for variable-rate nitrogen application and early pest or disease intervention.

Core Scan (R1-R3):

  • Monitors crop stress, disease pressure, and insect damage.

  • Optimizes fungicide and insecticide applications.

  • Better Solution

    • We use NDVI and NDRE indices detect disease hot spots or pest-damaged areas.

    • We then develop precise prescription maps for insecticide and fungicide.

R4-R6 Scan:

  • Evaluates pod development and late-season disease or pest pressure.

  • Assesses the effectiveness of mid-season applications.

  • Better Solution

    • We use NDVI and NDRE indices for assessing yield potential and nutrient sufficiency.

    • Allows the farmer to fine-tune late-season applications.
