Training Program on Use of GreenSeekers® Optical Sensors for Studying the Crop Response Index, In-season Estimated Yields (INSEY), Fertilizer Response and in Other Applications.
GreenSeeker® is an integrated optical sensing and application system that measures crop status and variably applies the crop's nitrogen requirements. Yield potential for a crop is identified using a vegetative index known as NDVI (normalized difference vegetative index) and an environmental factor. Nitrogen (N) is then recommended based on yield potential and the responsiveness of the crop to additional nitrogen. The GreenSeeker® applies the right amount of N at the right place and at the right time thereby optimizing yield and N input expense.
