Bayer digital farming head Chris Staff said the platform FieldView allowed growers to gain a deeper understanding of their operations, through the collection, visualisation and analysis of data they were generating on their farm, in a single dashboard.
“Digital farming integrates detailed information on factors such as weather conditions, soil moisture, soil nutrient levels and crop health to improve on-farm decision-making,” Mr Staff said.
“Farmers can leverage application technology and data science to maximise efficiency and productivity.
“FieldView overcomes the increased challenge of data aggregation and analysis, capturing a farm’s information in a single dashboard.
“It provides an integrated picture from which a grower can make informed and timely farm management decisions, and use resources more precisely and effectively to conserve water, energy, fertiliser and crop protection inputs.”
Already in use across the world, FieldView connects with more than 60 platform partners, including Claas and John Deere.
“We’ve spent the past two years testing it in the Australian market,” Mr Staff said.
“We wanted to ensure the product met the needs of Australian production systems so have undergone extensive trialling in the two major cereal and cotton production zones of southern West Australia and the Riverina.”
Mr Staff said those regions had in-field support with people on the ground to work directly with farmers who take up the technology.
“Over the coming 12 months, we will continue to add functionality to the platform and will roll FieldView out beyond the initial two regions.”
Mr Staff said during the coming 12 months Bayer would be trialling a suite of new tools within FieldView, such as field health imagery and manual fertility and crop protection scripting.
