Analysis of field operations
Collect factual data on quality and efficiency of operations to make management decisions
In order to provide the comprehensive information about production to support decision-making, an agricultural producer needs to regularly analyze the technological operations and collect actual data on their quality and efficiency.
We offer a range of services for collecting and analyzing data during the season: we will collect and process key indicators in time and provide professional recommendations, while the specialists of your farm can focus on the execution of production tasks.
Analysis of operations from precision farming systems
Analysis of operations with UAVs
Yield mapping
Analysis of operations from precision farming systems
Data from on-board systems allow you to determine the actual area and evaluate the quality of an operation, calculate the use of commodities and services, as well as check the technical support settings.
Analysis of operations with UAVs
Assessment of the quality of operations using UAVs provides management with timely and accurate data on existing problem areas in farm fields.
Yield mapping
Actual yield indicators show the efficiency of all operations during the production season. Based on this data, it is possible to objectively assess the economic result from innovations.
Monitoring the depth of tillage allows you to determine the actual depth of loosening and assess the quality of the operation. Monitoring the depth of tillage allows you to determine the actual depth of loosening and assess the quality of the operation. Overlaying the data on the revolutions of the tractor engine makes it possible to determine the most compacted areas of the field.
Data collected by Precision Planting systems allows to analyze actual seeding rate and quality, speed, gaps and overlaps. Installation of sowing monitoring sensors on the equipment will allow you to monitor the process in real time — to receive information about the performance of each section and to reconfigure the seeder in case of incorrect sowing.
Application of fertilizers is one of the key operations that affects the yield. Regardless of whether it is the main application of fertilizers, or the application of liquid fertilizers during sowing, — analytics from the equipment makes it possible to determine the actual amount of fertilizers applied and to identify areas of their uneven application.
Analysis of data from equipment and aggregates allows you to determine the actual volume of applied crop protection products, identify areas of overlap and untreated areas, check the compliance of the speed regime with technological standards. Performing the analysis of the actual track of a sprayer, it is possible to identify areas of crop trampling.
Field analysis using drones or satellites makes it possible to digitize puddles and waterlogged areas. The presence of these areas has a negative effect on the yield, reduces the potential of a field and the sown area in general.
Monitoring of crops condition by UAVs makes it possible to determine the areas of omissions and reseeding in the fields, as well as to identify technical problems of the planters. Gaps lead to a complete loss of the crop, during replanting the company looses 30% to 50% of the crop.
Low-quality application of fertilizers leads to a decrease in the yield and in the quality of products. Orthophotos obtained by UAVs make it possible to identify problems with fertilizer application, which might be confirmed by the NDVI index.
The inadequacy of the technical support of spraying leads to significant trampling of crops and uneven application of CPPs — some plants are treated repeatedly, and some do not receive agrochemicals at all. Crop monitoring with drones allows to determine overflows, gaps, weediness of the territory and trampled zones.
Yield mapping makes it possible to get real analytics about the actual yield in certain parts of the field. Precision Planting's Yield Sense system enables an agricultural producer to receive relevant data in real time.
Yield map makes it possible to analyze the quality of an operation and its impact on the result, as well as to assess the financial impact of certain problems. For example, you can see the impact of seeding density on yield, in particular — reducing the density of sowing in unproductive zones made it possible to obtain the same yield indicators as in zones with average productivity, given lower seed material costs.

Evaluation of the effectiveness of technology implementation
The cost depends on the goals, the area of analysis and the data on the basis of which this analysis is performed. For example, the analysis of operations based on data from drones costs around $1/ha.
Analysis of operations using data from precision farming systems and UAV crop monitoring data will give you the opportunity to identify the most essential problems in technological operations and determine their cost. In this way, you can calculate the planned return on investment in improving efficiency and check the actual result.
If the machinery does not have precision farming systems and navigation, the only option for analysis is crop monitoring by UAVs and digitizing the problems based on data from orthophotos.
It depends on specific problems. For example, the trampling of crops by sprayers during the application of pesticides can cause losses from $5/ha to $40/ha. Oversowing and omissions during sowing can result in losses from $2/ha to $30/ha. Problems with layout and singulation during planting can result in losses from $10/ha to $100/ha, and so on.
Invest in improving the efficiency of operations (implement parallel driving, disconnection of sections, seeding rate management), organize high-quality technical support for operations and train employees.
Of course. In all our projects on the implementation of precision farming systems, we devote a significant share of our time to the training of the customer’s employees.
