Various paid platforms (Geoface, Agrosync, OneSoil, Yara Atfarm) create variable rate nitrogen fertilization maps based on satellite images. Users can log in to their accounts via the platforms' websites. Fields can be loaded automatically from the crop declaration or manually marked on the map. The system analyzes satellite images and vegetation indices (e.g., (NDVI, NDRE) to determine the condition of plants in different field zones and the yield forecast. Based on the condition of the plants, the system automatically creates a variable rate fertilization map, in which a different N fertilizer rate is assigned to each field zone. The maps can be exported to fertilizer spreaders or sprayers that support variable rate technology.
Geoface announces that out of 8,200 farmers who have tried the program, 2,800 use this platform regularly. Several members of the Raseiniai Farmers Nutrition Group of the Nutricheck project use this program, which helps to plan and adjust plant fertilization during the vegetation period.
