SGIS Agronomy

This information can include the overall harvest performance of a field, farm or operation, what products have been applied, what plans have been selected and the amount of product that will be required.

These reports enable the grower to compile the information for soil sampling rotations, how a field’s yield compares with the overall operation, how much product needs to be purchased by farm and operation and how product was applied by farm and operation.

- Maps or text reports of sampling summaries for scheduling of re-sampling
- Text reports of harvest information and summaries for analysing returns
- Text reports of as-applied data for statutory reporting and nutrient tracking
- Text reports of spread map summaries for totals of products to be purchased

This allows the service provider and the grower to manage the timing and consistency of samplings and the grower to manage the cash flow of sampling expenses.

It contains useful information such as field volume totals and averages and moisture averages.

This is a management tool that allows the grower to track the total amount of product applied and the average quantity applied per hectare. Tracking the average rate can be of particular importance where products are being applied at a variable rate.

This report not only gives the grower the total product required for each field, but also the farm’s total requirement and the figure for the entire operation. It can also be used for planning of purchases for finance, purchase orders and pre-payments – and for planning logistics of products to respective fields.

The ‘tree’ structure used by the system organises data by Service Provider (grower, crop consultant or inputs distributor), then by Grower, Farm, Field and Activity (Profit Analysis Calculator, Application or Analysis) and Plan for easy visualisation of the information and access to the relevant areas.

At the Grower, Farm and Field levels, the Events (Soil Samples, Harvest Data, As-Applied Data, etc) can be imported into SGIS, with the Harvest and As-Applied imports available for the creation of field boundaries.

At the Field level, a field boundary can be created or edited and crops can be assigned for full or split field assignments. This is also where the respective Activity (Profit Analysis, Application or Analysis) is created, the parameters determined and the plan executed.

These tools allow the user flexibility in report titles and to zoom into the field, with background layers, statistics, logos and a colour legend.

The Quick Print Map View Layout enables the user to use roads, base data and imagery as background layers to produce field layout maps for the grower, or logistics maps for operators and contractors. The user can also zoom to the required map view and print or save that view.
