Precision Farming
Precision farming increasingly provides an additional tool to help farmers improve efficiency and reduce costs of production. This is achieved by using the latest technology, GPS, sensors and computer systems to provide variable application maps for each field, treating variables individually and enabling us to target certain areas with key element such as potash, phosphate and lime.
Gloag & Sons through its investment and 50% share holding in Precision Application Technology – can offer the following services:
- Soil Sampling;
- Soil conductivity testing – generating cultivations and variable seeding plans creating the foundations of optimising performance;
- Field Mapping;
- Field Yield Mapping;
- Variable rate lime & solid fertiliser application;
- N Sensor variable rate liquid & solid nitrogen application;
- Precision application of Lime Phosphate and Potash reflective of soil status and yield to improve targeted supply of input.
