Precision guidance & application

We operate with RTK GPS guidance to ensure the most accurate placement of products, reduce treatment errors, and eliminate operational mistakes. Our custom research application equipment has been specifically fabricated and calibrated to apply multiple treatments in a single pass with high precision and reduced contamination between treatments.
Field trials are planted using using cutting edge precision of RTK GPS guidance combined with vSet precision vacuum seed meters for uniform spacing, picket fence stands and high quality plots.

Row length is fully customized to meet customer requirements. Common plot sizes are 4 rows on 30" spacing planted 40' long.  

Application of products at planting include: in-furrow liquid, in-furrow dry, 2x2 liquid, 2x2 dry.
​Application of post-emergence products include: dry broadcast, liquid broadcast or banded on soil, and foliar spray at various growth stages.

Our specialized research plot sprayer is easily customizable to adapt to several application needs. Its multi-boom sprayer bar allows for several treatments within a single pass. Fully adjustable sprayer height to allow for correct boom heights of small soybeans to tasseled corn.

​Projects requiring side-dress, such as nitrogen trials, are applied with our corn side-dress bar custom built to apply several treatments in a single pass. It is equipped with new Unverferth double coulter row units spaced 15" from each other. This places products 7.5" from the planted row. The application is controlled by Trimble GPS flow control, or independent mix tanks by pressure and speed. Both systems allow for high accuracy application. 

accurate data collection

Calibrated plot combines utilize HarvestMaster High Capacity GrainGage systems and bulk density sensors combined with the latest HarvestMaster Mirus software to capture harvest data with precision and accuracy.
​
All data processing in ARM software is seamless to achieve fast analysis of trials and reporting to clients.
