F or those looking to make the most of their farm data, The CropTec Show is an unmissable event. Many firms at the forefront of this sector are attending – companies supplying kit that can harness vast amounts of crop information and, equally importantly, deliver the software to make sense of it all. The results help growers finetune cultivations, establishment, inputs, and harvesting, and provides accurate yield forecasts to help plan the storage and sales of harvested crops.
For newcomers and old hands alike, there is plenty to whet the appetite at Croptec for all things precision.
Rezatec is offering a suite of data services at CropTec. The company claims its agricultural

monitoring and harvest yield analytics employ a unique combination of crop growth models driven by weather, management, genetic and soil parameters, which are combined with satellite data and machine learning to give an unrivalled insight into farming productivity.
Decision-support tools derived from the process deliver a range of benefits, such as improved crop yields, lower production costs, and the ability to measure and monitor crops, forecast yield and improve supply chain resilience.
Rezatec is co-sponsoring the Data & Analytics Hub at CropTec( with Prodata Weather Systems). The hub will explore the opportunities and profit-earning potential of using and analysing farm data.
Agrovista’ s precision team is on hand at CropTec to explain how

rapid and highly accurate sampling of soils and new drone technology integrate with the company’ s cloud-based crop management system, Axis, facilitating cost-effective farming practices.
Agrovista has upgraded to a new soil-scanning machine, the Veris U3. This measures key soil data such as pH, organic matter levels, electro-conductivity( to ascertain soil type) and topography to ensure appropriate fertility management strategies are employed. The machine can be towed by a 4x4, UTV or tractor at speeds of up to 16kph in 12m bouts.
Agrovista can fly customers’ fields with drones and process data, such as establishment, biomass presence of weeds and diseases and plant counts, for a wide range of crops. The aim to

help optimise crop establishment and minimise the need for rectifying treatments during the growing season. In addition, the information helps formulate accurate yield forecasts.
SOYL is unveiling five precision innovations at CropTec. ZoneSwitch allows the automatic switching on or off of granular applicators, enabling the operator to automate patch application within fields and / or restrict application of products around features such as watercourses.
A new‘ Active’ mode for the variable rate app iSOYL will be introduced at CropTec. It enables problems or features to be logged whilst spraying or applying fertiliser, useful for recording information such as patches of weeds, slug damage or watercourses.
In addition, a range of
