Bayer debuts digital farming business in South Africa

摘要

Bayer’s Crop Science division’s digital agriculture business, The Climate Corporation, has launched its digital farming platform, Climate FieldView, in South Africa. The debut follows extensive trials last year on more than more than 500,000 ha of farmland in the country, says the company. Through its data collection and analysis tools, FieldView allows farmers to combine information from their equipment such as tractors, planters, sprayers and combine harvesters into a single platform. The collected insights can subsequently be accessed using a smartphone, tablet device or computer.
