GreenSeeker Handheld Crop Sensor
AFFORDABLE AND EASY TO USE Daniel Rodriguez
14
GreenSeeker Handheld Crop Sensor
Features Lightweight and portable Active light source optical sensor Used to measure plant biomass/plant health Displays NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) reading Pull the trigger and NDVI measurement appears on LCD display immediately. Affordable, easy to use
15
How are Producers Using GreenSeeker?
Key use continues to be in-season nitrogen management Using algorithms developed or custom algorithms Other uses for 2012 Variable rate fungicide & desiccant Primarily Cotton Crop condition mapping Viticulture, raspberries, ginseng, blueberry, coli flour, broccoli Application of growth rate regulator and defoliants Primarily cotton, canola

GreenSeeker Handheld Crop Sensor
Sensor Tour
17
Using the Sensor Quick measurement
Hold the sensor over the crop canopy and pull the trigger The sensor should be held at 24-48” above the crop canopy Observe the reading on the display
18
Using the Sensor Averaged measurement
To obtain a reading representing a larger Area or strip. Hold the sensor over the crop canopy and pull the trigger. Walk with the sensor while keeping the trigger engaged and maintaining a consistent height above the target. The display updates continuously, but accumulates multiple readings and provides an average when the trigger is released. The maximum measurement is 60 sec.

Application of the Handheld Sensor
- Key use of sensor is to estimate fertilizer application rates. - Other applications include: Sensing and agronomic research Biomass measurements and plant canopy variations Nutrient response Yield Potential Pest and disease impact - Strategy Educate the market about NDVI What is it? What it can do for users? How can it help them make better decisions?
