Yield Potential

SWAT WATER provides critical soil moisture variability information throughout the growing season, so you can make better informed decisions for crop management (e.g. nitrogen top-dressing, fungicide applications, or variable-rate irrigation).

SWAT CAM is a sprayer-mounted camera that uses machine learning to create high resolution weed and crop maps.

Once the crop has emerged, you’ll do an early crop assessment, checking plant stands by zone and looking for any early nutrient issues that should be addressed. This step can be done manually in the field with the SWAT RECORDS app or by using your SWAT CAM. This is a valuable step for monitoring success of seeding rates, or to identify any future opportunities with seed and fertility. All assessments are recorded in the SWAT RECORDS app so your farmers can view them immediately. Later in the season, late crop assessments along with yield data can be analyzed by SWAT zone to measure success.

In-season imagery can be helpful when monitoring crop variability due to environmental factors in addition to soil and water. NDVI-based maps are a great resource for writing on/off fungicide, crop desiccation, and plant growth regulator prescriptions. When incorporated with the SWAT MAP data layers, they can be used to enhance nitrogen topdressing prescriptions as well.

Fungicide and topdressing prescriptions are two common examples of in-season applications that that can utilize real-time soil moisture and imagery to maximize your farmer’s yield potential.

Yield Analytics gives a detailed look at yields to gain a better understanding of what areas in the field are under performing and why. Analyze yield by SWAT zone to help your farmers develop better-informed targets for the future.
