Use Cases & Applications
HarvestEye offers a range of applications that can significantly improve farm operations. For example, farmers can use real-time crop analysis during harvesting to identify areas with low yield and adjust harvesting strategies accordingly. Crop yield forecasting allows for better planning and resource allocation, ensuring that resources are used efficiently.
Field mapping and variability analysis enable farmers to identify spatial variations in crop health and yield. This information can be used to target resource allocation, such as fertilizer and irrigation, to areas that need it most. Pre-harvest analysis and test digs provide valuable insights into crop characteristics before harvesting, allowing for proactive management and quality control.
Quality control during harvesting ensures that only the best crops are selected for market. This improves the overall quality of the harvest and reduces waste. By optimizing farm operations and improving profitability, HarvestEye supports complex decision-making for sustainable business growth. It also serves as a valuable validation tool for agronomy, providing data-driven insights to support best practices.
