Crop Health Monitoring (CropSpec)

Just-in-time crop health management


Monitor and manage plant health to maximize stand and yield potential

  • Fertilizer costs reduced by application based on crop need
  • Prescription maps created or gauged and applied in a single pass
  • Cab-mounted sensors protected and out of harm’s way
  • Largest sensor footprint in the industry for better results
  • On-the-go averaging with user-determined target rates
  • Crops viewed  at a uniform diagonal to minimize error
  • Topcon digital farm management (TAP) easily connected

Crop canopy sensors for nutrient mapping 

UNIVERSAL SPRAYING AND SPREADING CONTROL

The use of crop-sensing technology in cereal and grain crops is one of the fastest growing segments in precision farming.  Crop Health Monitoring utilizing CropSpec crop canopy sensors works with our X-Family consoles (XD, XD+, X25, X35) to monitor in-field variability.
 

The units mount on your cabin roof out of harm’s way, providing the largest sensor footprint in the industry and attaining greater application accuracy. CropSpec sensors measure plant reflectance to determine chlorophyll content, which correlates to nitrogen concentration in the leaf. This non-destructive, non-contact measurement method provides accurate, stable readings with repeatable values.

Use for on-the-go application, or record for prescription mapping

Operators can achieve improved average application rates measuring nutrient levels on the fly. Alternately, they can record variable data and import into the Topcon Agriculture platform to generate prescription maps for their in-cab consoles for true variable-rate prescription application.
