More than just a map.

Purposefully designed to help farmers visualize, manage, and optimize their land with precision. SWAT MAPS provides clear, actionable insights into your field’s soil health and water resources, empowering you to enhance productivity and sustainability.

Discover the benefits of SWAT MAPS

Following the first six steps in the Soil Potential Process outlined in the SWAT ECOSYSTEM, SWAT MAPS offers numerous valuable benefits to farmers. Each step provides unique insights and advantages, all contributing to a more efficient and productive farming operation.
Learn about the Soil Potential Process

Precise Soil Composition Insights

SWAT MAPS break down your fields’ soil composition into easy-to-understand zones, showing variations in texture, organic matter, and nutrient levels. This precision helps you make informed decisions about all soil applied inputs and crop suitability.

Manage Soil pH

Use variable rate prescriptions to apply lime, wood ash, or other soil amendments to manage soil pH and improve nutrient availability.

Enhanced Soil Health & Sustainability

Using SWAT MAPS helps you avoid practices that lead to soil degradation. You can take better care of soil by maintaining a balanced nutrient profile and avoid nutrient loss, contributing to long-term farm sustainability.

Streamlined Farm Management

With clear, visual data in one place, our software SWAT RECORDS simplifies field management. You can easily plan planting/seeding, irrigation, fertilizer, spray, and harvest activities allowing for more organized and efficient workflows.

Targeted Nutrient Application

With SWAT MAPS, you know exactly where to apply fertilizers and in what amounts. By targeting only the areas that need them, you save on fertilizer costs and reduce the risk of over-application, which can harm crops and the environment.

Reduce Lodging

Reduce lodging risk by addressing specific nutrient balances in each zone and achieving targeted plant stands with variable rate seeding. Plant growth regulators can be targeted to only high-risk zones, avoiding crop injury potential where they aren’t needed.

Even Crop Staging & Maturity

Variable rate seeding maximizes yield by matching seeding rates to each SWAT zone’s soil and water potential. Boosting plant competition with weeds, promoting even crop emergence, and unlocking the genetic potential of hybrids. It can also help manage disease risk in zones that have problems with diseases such as white mold.

Improve Herbicide Performance

Activity of soil applied herbicides are influenced by properties mapped and measured with SWAT MAPS. This can enable use of variable rate prescriptions that adhere to label guidelines and result in better weed control or less crop injury.

Increased Profitability

All these factors combined—higher yields, reduced costs, and smarter resource allocation—lead to greater profitability. The SWAT MAPS variable rate approach allows you to make decisions that boost productivity and bottom-line returns.
These benefits are unlocked through the Soil Potential Process. By precisely understanding soil properties and conditions, farmers can optimize inputs, enhance crop health, and achieve higher yields with targeted strategies. The Soil Potential Process lays the foundation for sustainable, productive farming that maximizes every acre’s potential.

Take it to the Next LEvel

Once you’ve unlocked your soil potential across your entire farm, you’re ready to take it to the next level. The Yield Potential Process — the final 12 steps in the SWAT MAPS process — is where you’ll start to deeply analyze your data and fine-tune your operations for maximum efficiency.

Improved Water Management

Using SWAT MAPS as the base layer, SWAT WATER takes detailed soil moisture sensor data, to create a soil water map. This can help guide variable rate irrigation or in-season input applications responding to yield potential, such as additional nitrogen.

Better Data for in Crop Decisions

SWAT WATER maps, SWAT CAM crop and weed imaging, and satellite imagery provide high resolution details on the soil moisture, crop establishment and plant density of your fields. This data along with the SWAT MAPS and Yield Analytics provide a deep level of knowledge about in-crop decisions.

View Crop Establishment & Weed Pressure

Easily assess crop establishment and weed pressure by SWAT zone for a precise variable rate strategy. SWAT CAM provides early-stage crop data and separates crop and weed insights, giving you clarity NDVI can’t, and allowing you to scout fields from anywhere.

View Your Field From Your Phone

With SWAT CAM mounted on your sprayer, you’ll capture images of your field every 50-70ft, this gives you the ability to view plant establishment throughout the season and analyze your seeding rate vs established populations and guide future VR seed strategies.

Satellite
Imagery

Access to free satellite imagery provides valuable, up-to-date field insights, helping agronomists monitor crop health, identify problem areas, and make timely, data-driven decisions—all without extra cost.

In-Crop
Prescriptions

Maximize your yield potential with real time crop variability and responses. Incorporated with SWAT MAPS data layers your SWAT MAPS service provider can write prescriptions for applications like on/off VR fungicide, plant growth regulators, top dressing, and crop desiccation.

Industry Leading Yield Analytics

Our yield cleaning and subsequent data analytics provides detailed performance evaluations to aid in profitability assessments by field and by SWAT zone. This data strengthens future decision making and helps manage risk.

Compare Analytics Year after Year

Choose more accurate target yields and make decisions on how to allocate resources based on zones and real data from your fields. See which areas require further investigation with additional soil or tissue testing.

Environmental Stewardship

Share your sustainability story through a detailed 4R Nutrient Stewardship report and SWAT Certification. Your SWAT certification and the science-led data behind it will enable access to a growing number of premium markets and subsidies.
