Precision productivity starts hereApplication Pro Modules and Variable Rate Application.

Precision farming in two easy steps – automatically.

As every farmer knows, different parts of the land need different amounts of crop care and seeding. But until recently, gauging those amounts was more of an art than a science.

Now, thanks to recent advances in GPS-based automation technology, you can adjust your implement’s application rates and working width automatically and in realtime for unheard of precision and productivity. In the end, these two easy steps help you to apply the exact amounts of fertiliser, crop protection and seed required and thus to create the best possible growing conditions for your crop.

What’s more, thanks to ISOBUS technology, our site-specifi c solutions work with John Deere ISOBUS ready implements as well as with ISOBUS enabled third-party sprayers, seeders or spreaders too. So you can enjoy John Deere precision and ease of use even if you own a mixed implement fl eet.

Step One: Application Pro Modules

With our Application Pro Modules you can switch implement sections on and off automatically to minimise skips or overlap when spraying, seeding or spreading. As a result, you can do a better job faster – and save money on fuel and materials too. And since it eliminates the risk of crop damage due to overspray, you actually save twice over.

Application Pro’s section control technology is particularly useful in wedge-shaped fi elds – but also when approaching boundaries or avoiding application in predefi ned areas. And thanks to Headland Control you can work the main fi eld fi rst, then do the headland last. That way, you never pass an already applied area a second time.

The Application Pro Modules also capture additional product details – anything from germination rates to buffer zones and active ingredients and you can use the data on your display to make informed work decisions as you go. This avoids the risk of costly application errors and saves time too.

Step Two: Variable Rate Application

When you’re spraying, seeding or spreading, Variable Rate Application matches application rates to actual fi eld conditions as you move across the land based on predefi ned application maps that you create with your desktop software. It also records application data on a fi eld-by-fi eld basis to support your planning for the next season. The bottom line? Less wastage, fewer skips and higher yields later on.

Precision farming made easy

You already own an ISOBUS enabled sprayer, seeder and/or spreader and want to enjoy the benefi ts of precision farming? You’ve come to the right place! Here’s all you need to get started:

Variable Rate Applications*The Variable Rate Application software comes pre-installed on your GreenStar 2630 (or 2600) display. In addition you need a StarFire receiver and compatible desktop software.

Section Control ApplicationsEasy. A StarFire receiver, a GreenStar 2630 display and license for your John Deere ISOBUS implements supporting section control, is all you need. And, if you have third-party ISOBUS sprayer, seeder or spreader implements? That’s no problem either. They can be enabled with an implement-specifi c licence – which is then good for your John Deere implements as well.

* Using ISOBUS Connect we still offer another option to run Variable Rate Application with your third-party implements.

The new GreenStar 2630 ISOBUS displayThis high-end touchscreen display provides state-of-the-art support for all your guidance, documentation and monitoring needs. The 26 cm full-colour ISOBUS display lets you control all our i-Solutions from one intuitive interface. Capabilities include:

• Guidance and Guidance Pro Modules• Documentation• Advanced ISOBUS capabilities• Performance monitoring• Brilliant 26 cm touchscreen• USB port for data transfer• Video enabled• User access levels• Standby mode for road transport or night-time use

The new StarFire 3000 receiver The StarFire 3000 is designed to grow with your business. It works seamlessly with all accuracy levels (EGNOS, SF1, SF2 and RTK) and all our John Deere guidance systems. And, since the StarFire 3000 picks up satellite signals from the Global Positioning System GPS and has the capability to use GLONASS satellites too, it provides a more reliable positioning.

It pays to use ISOBUS certifi ed equipmentISOBUS is the common standard that enables your tractor, your implements, your on-board computer and your desktop software to communicate smoothly with each other. Using ISOBUS technology, you are able to enter a new era of compatibility.

High-end precision farming – get it now!Put simply, Variable Rate Application automatically turns the application volume up or down in realtime. Application Pro uses section control technology to turn it on and off as required – either in part or in full. Both tools are impressive in their own right. Together, they take precision farming to a whole new level.

Spray, fertilise and seed exactly where and how much you need – across all your fi elds.
