GreenSeeker RT200

Manage your inputs and maximise your profits

The GreenSeeker® RT200 ia a multi-sensor variable rate application and mapping system. It is a cost effective tool which identify and map variability within a field and make on-the-go variable rate application possible. GreenSeeker® offer a more efficient and precise way to manage crop inputs such as nitrogen. The technology allows you to apply the right input, in the right amount, at the right time in real time. Optimum placement of nitrogen eliminates costly waste and extra passes across the field.

The GreenSeeker® RT200 Method

Real time sensor data is used while topdressing or side dressing the crop to evaluate crop status at time the time of nitrogen application. University and researcher crop specific prescriptions are used to determine the appropriate in season nitrogen fertiliser rate. Rates are changed on the go during the topdressing or side-dressing process. You can also collect data during existing farming operations such as spraying, cultivation and mowing. These images can by used to create management zones, identify pest and disease problems, evaluate drainage systems efficacy, modifying soil sampling strategies, monitor and modify irrigation schedules, determine optimum harvesting dates and make variable rate prescription maps.

Above: GreenSeeker® to Prescription Map

The image on the left shows a GreenSeeker® NDVI map with six different areas showing from below NDVI of below 0.42 to 0.54 and above. Based on this map the prescription map on the left was made for the application of plant growth regulator with three application rates from 1 litre/ha to 1.6 litre/ha.

RT200 Variable rate application and mapping system

Up to six GreenSeeker® sensors are spread across the width of the applicator boom
Uses NDVI or predict yield and nitrogen requirement then applies variably
The GreenSeeker® interface averages data from sensor for boom width rate variations
GreenSeeker® communicates with a large range of variable rate controllers
Can be calibrated for other applications, such as variable rate defoliant and plant growth regulators
Unlike satellite or aerial imagery it can operate night or day, even in fog or cloud
