Precision Agriculture Solutions for SST Customers

  11/05/2011
RapidEye, Germany, is working in cooperation with SST Software to integrate its precision farming maps into SST's information management products and services. RapidEye's five satellites open new avenues in precision agriculture. Frequent revisit capacity, five metre pixel size, and five spectral bands allow for timely in-season monitoring of crop growth and optimal fertiliser management.

 

 

The partnership between RapidEye and SST Software has produced an easy-to-use software tool which enables crop consultants and farmers to produce prescription maps for GPS controlled farm equipment based on RapidEye's crop maps.

 

SST Software is fully integrating RapidEye's crop maps into SST Summit and SST FarmRite. Customers in the US, Canada and Australia can instantaneously view and purchase RapidEye Precision Ag products. Throughout the growing season, RapidEye will offer up-to-date maps allowing end users to generate in-season nutrient and pesticide application maps with just a few mouse clicks. RapidEye also will open up its extensive imagery archive from 2009 and 2010. Images from previous growing seasons can be used by crop consultants and farmers to create management zones for targeted soil sampling, variable rate fertiliser application and seeding maps.

 

SST Summit software users in North America and Australia can expect to see RapidEye Precision Ag products on their desktop, laptop or in-field handheld device containing the SST Summit software beginning June 2011.

With your solutions, <a href="http://www.agriculture.com/news">precision agriculture</a> can be made even easier and more profitable. However, it is still vital to stay up to date on the latest trends. As you point out, it could have a huge impact on business. Agriculture.com is a great resource for this. They have the latest news, updates, and reports for farmers and other agricultural businesses, including information on precision agriculture. Though I now work for them, I have worked in the field of agriculture for years and have yet to find another resource that can compare to them. They honestly offer a lot great information there, as well as the chance to interact in their forums, share stories, promote my business, and buy or sell products and services. You should check them out. Jack Scott - 13/06/2011 - 04:15

Using Total Stations for Indoor Radiation Mapping

 

A total station can be used for many applications. Oak Ridge Associated Universities (USA) uses a total station for indoor radiation characterisation, which enables the team to better perform environmental assessments. This video shows how it is done.
