Here are a few tips when using these features, to help you get the highest returns on every acre:
Look for areas with low biomass — these may need attention. When you view Field Health Imagery, look for areas of your fields that may need a field visit to fully assess the plant health of your crop. Biomass is a great indicator of this – scan the imagery to look for areas where biomass is lower (for example, the red areas), making the lowest biomass areas the priority for follow-up.
Use the pin drop scouting tool to flag spots that need follow up. When you identify these areas that are progressing slower and need attention, use the ‘pin drop’ scouting tool to flag that area. A pin will appear on the map to make sure you and anyone else helping out — for example your agronomist, farming partner or crop advisor — can see exactly where to check.
Create field region reports to increase precision. Creating field region reports is a great option to dial in further on your fields. This advanced scouting tool provides a better understanding of the variability in your fields, including identifying yield-limiting factors by analyzing seed performance or management practices in specific regions of your fields after harvest. Learn how to use field region reports.
Set-up notifications to help you keep on top of needs. You can further enhance your approach by enabling notifications for a range of developments. The notifications options built in to FieldView include email and in-app notifications that give you a real-time heads up on when you get new FieldView Images to help identify issues, progress and performance.
