Why do on-farm research?
Strategic on-farm research plays a key role of increasing adoption of improved farm management practices/applications. Such trials in the past were considered to be labour intensive and rarely implemented.
Spatial technologies such as proximal/remote sensors and yield monitors enable rapid data capture of plant biomass, plant health and crop yields, facilitating efficient on-farm research.
We integrate local knowledge from agronomists and other service providers with these spatial technologies in order to facilitate effective on-farm research.
Trial layout (LHS) & cleaned yield data (RHS)
Average yield results from each treatment
Proximal sensor mapping of paddock scale trial
Results of proximal sensor mapping from quad bike with trial boundaries
We offer a selection of services which include:

We offer a selection of services which include:
- Identifying trial paddocks and sub-paddock locations for trials
- Capturing proximal/remotely sensed imagery throughout the growing season
- Offering technology solutions for collecting targeted sampling of crop and soil
- Generating GPS coordinates for targeted sampling
- Overlaying and comparing several spatial datasets (i.e. yield, imagery, EM-38, topography)
- Analysis of yield and imagery data for formal reporting
