Creation of task maps
Implement a differentiated approach to conducting field operations and take into account the features of each field
One of the key elements of implementing precision farming is a differentiated approach to operations. Taking into account the features of each field — relief, agrochemical composition and type of soil, factual yield and other nuances and allows to form a plan for each operation in the form of a task map for agricultural machinery.
Scanning of soil structure
Field relief
Performance maps
Agrochemical analysis of the field
Yield map
NDVI map of crops
Soil density analysis
Maps of waterlogged areas
Differentiated loosening aims to guarantee favorable conditions for the development of the root system of plants, and also prevents excessive consumption of fuel during tillage.
Application of variable-rate sowing technology allows to achieve maximum yield in productive areas and to reduce the use of seed material in less fertile areas.
Variable-rate application of fertilizers makes it possible to compensate for the lack of nutrients in depleted areas of the field and to achieve maximum yield in fertile zones.
Variable-rate application of pesticides, for example, desiccation, makes it possible to save spendinds on plant protection products and reduce the negative impact of agrochemicals on plants.
Soil scanning with TopSoil Mapper or EM-38 scanners makes it possible to identify excessive compaction in the field and create a task map for differential loosening.
Analysis of soil compaction in the field using a digital penetrometer makes it possible to create a task map for differentiated tillage, including deep loosening.
Analysis of waterlogged areas in the field, as well as digitization of puddles using drones or satellite data, makes it possible to identify areas in which deep loosening or drainage work should be carried out.
Analysis of the movement of machinery on the field from GPS monitoring systems makes it possible to determine areas on the field which are most affected, and create a task map for carrying out differentiated deep loosening.
Soil sampling and a general agrochemical analysis of the field allows creating a task map for fertilizer application and variable application rates for different fields, depending on the level of their supply with micro- and macroelements necessary for the crop.
The task map for differentiated fertilization is based on the data of agrochemical analysis of the soil and is used for the equalization of the supply of nutrients in different areas in order to increase the yield across the field.
Application of liquid fertilizers during sowing using Precision Planting systems (FurrowJet, Conceal) makes it possible to provide crops with starter nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers. The vApplyHD module allows to control the application rate and enables variable-rate application of fertilizers.
The heterogeneity of the vegetation according to NDVI and leaf diagnostics is the basis for a task map for nitrogen fertilization. Differentiated application ensures optimization of fertilizer application and activation of plant growth in low-performance areas.
The creation of a task map for differentiated sowing can be based on the historical data of the productivity of the field. It involves the maximum use of the potential of productive plots and the saving of inputs (seeds, CPPs) on less productive ones.
Soil scanning with TopSoil Mapper or EM-38 scanners makes it possible to determine differences in soil structure and create a task map for differentiated sowing.
In the presence of data on topography of the field (from a drone or precision farming systems), a task map for differentiated sowing is formed as follows: in low-lying areas, the seed material is sown with a higher rate, on elevations with a lower rate. When sowing sunflower and corn, this approach is optimal.
Creating a task map for differentiated desiccation is based on crop monitoring data from drones or satellites and it makes it possible to optimize costs and speed up the operation.
Having collected the data from drones on the weediness of the field, it is necessary to determine the key areas of damage and create a task map for differentiated application of insurance herbicides. This will make it possible to optimize the costs of CPPs and ensure the proper development of the crop (without suppression).
In order to create a task map for CPP application by drones, it is necessary to measure the field with RTK accuracy, as well as to digitize the presence of obstacles. After that, a route is created for the operation, taking into account the application rate and the necessary refueling/recharging.
The dynamics of plant vegetation and leaf diagnosis data make it possible to create a task map for differentiated application of growth regulators. Differentiated application aims to ensure the activation of plant growth.

cost optimization and productivity improvement
The cost of the service for creating a task map for the differentiated performance of an operation depends on 3 main factors: type of an operation; type of data for creation of a task map; total area of the fields for which a task map is designed. The price varies from $0.25/ha to $1/ha.
No, data collection is not included. For example, if you plan to develop a task map for differentiated fertilization based on an agrochemical analysis, then soil sampling and analysis are paid for separately, in addition to the cost of a task map development for fertilizer application.
Any recommendations regarding variable rates of sowing or fertilizing, crop protection or differentiated tillage are developed by our consultants exclusively with the involvement of the customer’s agronomic service. An agronomist always knows the nuances of his fields better and will help create optimal task maps.
Our specialists will help you make a task map specifically for your machinery and precision farming systems that are connected to it. The result of the service is precisely the correctly prepared and loaded task map on the machinery before conducting the operation.
It depends on the culture and production technology. For example, differentiated sowing of corn and sunflower may increase yield by 5-10% with the same amount of seed material.
In this case, our consultants can conduct an express audit of your farm and recommend the most effective way of step-by-step implementation of technologies, as well as calculate the return on investment.
