SciAg uses a Real Time Differential GPS unit to create
detailed maps. In irrigation areas the field is divided
into regions such as head ditch, rotor bucks, green
area and tail drain. The maps also include all watersystems,
powerlines, underground pipes, buildings or any other
area of interest. We can also incorporate these maps
with your Neighbour Notification & Down Wind No
Spray Zones for BMP compliance.
EM Surveying:
SciAg uses the EM 38 Technology to do the EM survey,
which measures the soil characteristics of the field.
The maps show the clay content across the field, from
lowest to highest. EM maps are used to show if there
are any correlations between yield data and the soil
characteristics. The EM is also important to be used
in conjunction with other field information to form
management zones within the field.
Yield Data:
SciAg can process many different types of yield data
and interpolate the information into meaningful data.
The SciAg Information Lab can import many different
types of yield data, some of these are: Agleader, Case
AFS, Fieldstar, Greenstar, Microtrak, RDS and Zycom.
Imagery:
SciAg also provides the service of imagery. Our main
base for imagery is from satellites, which give two
types of maps, these are vigour and yield estimation
maps. We are also able to access aerial & thermal
imagery.
Farm Management Software Packages:
SciAg can work in conjunction with a range of different
packages to help implement the information supplied
from growers. This means that SciAg has the knowledge
of these programs and the access to backup support if
required.
VRT:
Variable Rate Technology our ultimate delivery tool
to our customers. This technology is playing a strong
role in farm management programs. Once yield data for
at least two to three years has been collected along
with EM information, we start to have a good basis for
VRT. This allows for trends to be identified across
a field, which allows for management zones to be established
and site-specific soil testing to take place.
