New Ways to Map Fields

摘要

From the ground and from the air, the Farm Journal Test Plots unveil the potential of the latest technology tools. One of the goals of the Farm Journal Test Plots is to stay up-to-date with emerging technologies that can help farmers be more efficient and take yields higher. In the past five years, one of the biggest technologies to come on the scene has been NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) mapping. NDVI maps are a tool for in-season scouting and year-to-year field management. The data collected can help farmers refine management zones and production practices.
