This functionality, offered through the DirectCommand system on the INTEGRA display, allows producers to utilize OptRx crop sensors to apply agricultural products they need on-the-go at the rates necessary for optimum performance.

Product Specialist Chad Fick says that many agricultural products, including fertilizers, pesticides, defoliants, plant growth regulators and others “can be more effectively applied if the rates are varied according to crop health.”

OptRx crop sensors work by shining light on the crop canopy and reading the light reflected back to determine the crop health, also known as Vegetative Index. Working with agronomists or crop consultants, farmers can use OptRx to improve the application of any agricultural product to any crop that needs a variable rate.

“The new Crop Sensor Rate Table allows growers to choose a Vegetative Index range and assign the recommended rates based on those ranges,” Fick said.

Growers with the INTEGRA display can take advantage of the Crop Sensor Rate Table by updating their firmware to version 3.3.1

This system works fine if there is training to farmers. The cost of the . equipment is another but it is one’s hope that payment plan can help out.

What is the maximum area of land on which OptRx crop sensor can work upon?
