Targeted desiccation for uniform ripening
A drone flight captured canopy variation across a sunflower field. The imagery was processed in CultiWise into a desiccation prescription map, highlighting green zones that had not yet matured. The operator received an exact product volume recommendation, allowing the sprayer to treat only the unripe areas while leaving dry patches untouched. This ensured even ripening and efficient harvest preparation without overspraying already mature plants.
Result:
Uniform dry-down and smoother harvest with 16 % less desiccant used, maintaining full treatment effectiveness.
