Summary:
A German SME has developed a GIS-based (geographic information systems) economic and environmental feedback and report system for precision farming and is looking for farmers and companies in the agricultural sector interested in a subcontracting agreement.
Description:
An SME based in the north-western part of Germany offers data management, data preparation and data analysis for precision farming management systems. With the help of yield data, fertilizer application quantities and soil nutrient contents the company calculates the sub-area-specific nutrient requirements or nutrient balances.
In addition, the company's systems is capable of calculating the income contribution of the method for each sub-area, taking into account the total production costs, and can also create economic scenarios with varying costs and revenues. Thus, expected market developments can be taken into account when planning application maps.
More features are:
Fertilizer application maps are designed on the basis of these data. From these data site-specific yield potential maps can be generated:
- nutrient balance and economic yield analysis Site assessment
- computation of lime application maps for sub-area-specific lime calculation.
A unique competence is the design of application maps as a complete service. The focus is on sub-area specific fertilization and liming. For the determination of the optimal nutrient supply at sub-area level, the balances, economic results and soil properties determined from existing maps as well as the user’s knowledge and experience are taken into account. The aim of the service is the ecological and economic optimization of crop cultivation.
The company calls farmers, agricultural companies and consultancies to conclude subcontracting agreements.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought:
