biomass

The Trimble GreenSeeker handheld crop sensor is an affordable, easy-to-use measurement device that can be used to assess the heath — or vigor — of a crop in order to make better nutrient management decisions on your farm. Use the GreenSeeker handheld to instantly take a reading of your crop’s health. Readings can be used to make non-subjective decisions regarding the amount of fertilizer to be applied to your crop, resulting in more efficient use of fertilizer — a benefit to your bottom line and the environment. Features -The sensor emits brief bursts of red and infrared light and then measures the amount of each type of light that is reflected back from the plant -The sensor continues to sample the scanned area as long as the trigger remains engaged -The sensor displays the measured value in terms of an NDVI reading (ranging from 0.00 to 0.99) on its LCD display screen -The strength of the detected light is a direct indicator of the health of the crop; the higher the reading, the healthier the plant -Use the Trimble Ag Software scout app on a smartphone or tablet to calculate fertiliser application rates from crop readings taken with the GreenSeeker handheld. -High-quality optical sensor to instantly measure plant vigour -Easy-to-read display, even in sunlight -Simple pull-type trigger and comfortable hand grip -Micro USB charging port
