1. First the field boundary is mapped using a
quad bike equipped with GPS and sample points logged, the map below
was sampled at approximately 1 Hectare centers.
2. Samples are then taken from each sample point
in the field and sent to a laboratory for analysis.
This field was sampled for
PCN ( Potato cyst nematode )
This map shows the sample
points
The map below shows the egg
count of the field
The next
map shows the cyst count of the field
These maps show the laboratory analysis reports
for Egg and Cyst counts and highlight the potential savings to be
had by Not having to treat all of the field with chemicals.
The soil samples for fertiliser can be used in the same way to
poduce maps and veriable rate aplication files.
Analysis can do done as below e.g. Basic soil - P, K, Mg, pH
