Oilseed Rape and Variable Rate Applications.
A Perfect Match!
Elevating Oilseed Rape Farming with CultiWise Precision
Oilseed rape (OSR), with its high oil content and use in a variety of products from cooking oils to biofuels, is a significant crop in global agriculture. Typically, it is sown in narrow rows, opening new possibilities for CultiWise. This seeding pattern eliminates the soil effect at satellite and drone imagery, enhancing the efficiency of inputs like fertilizers and plant growth regulators based on detailed remote sensing.
Enhanced Oilseed Rape Fertilization: CultiWise Precision
CultiWise harnesses satellite data alongside soil sampling to revolutionize oilseed rape fertilization. We supply farmers with variable-rate nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, lime fertilization maps and refined VRA seeding plans based on soil analysis findings. Our high-resolution satellite imagery directs our algorithms to guarantee that every rapeseed plant is nourished for peak growth. Oilseed rape also presents the opportunity for the variable rate fungicide application and variable rate desiccation using CultiWise Premium satellite data.
CultiWise AI: Elevating Oilseed Rape Farming
Drones equipped with RGB and Multispectral cameras can be deployed throughout the rapeseed’s growth cycle. Integrating this data with our sophisticated algorithms results in cost savings, healthier plants, and higher yields. Our system is exceptionally beneficial for oilseed rape, enabling precise applications of herbicides, foliar fertilizers, fungicides, targeted desiccation treatments or plant counting as needed, based on CultiWise Premium Satellite or drone imagery for even more accurate results.
Significant chemical reduction
CultiWise’s approach has profoundly impacted crop protection use in rapeseed cultivation. Our spot-spraying technique has led to a 47% reduction in overall herbicide usage (based on previous results average) in the growing season. In targeted post-emergence treatments, herbicide use drops by more than 90% in some specific scenarios. But our technology goes beyond herbicide management; it’s also used for plant counting through drone data, which is crucial for verifying germination rate.
Implementing CultiWise marks a step towards more advanced and sustainable winter wheat farming practices. By minimizing broadcast herbicide applications, we contribute to a future of agriculture that is both environmentally friendly and more cost-effective for farmers. Our solutions are effective in complex agricultural scenarios, consistently delivering better results through variable rates and targeted applications.
