Smart Farming is the logical continuation of Precision Farming. Precision Farming is an umbrella term for all farming measures which take into account small-scale differences like e.g. different soil types within one field. While the focus for Precision Farming was on the machinery to facilitate site-specific management, the focuse for Smart Farming is on information-guided plant production.

Satellite images provide overview, show patterns and allow estimation of in-field heterogeneity. Thus, these images can support the farmer in his decision making process.

By using satellite data, a field-specific crop vigor analysis can be done to derive a site characterization. This allows an estimation of the possible economic benefits of future application of precision farming techniques.

Parameters which can‘t be directly observed with remotely sensed data like dry biomass and grain yield are modeled by TalkingFields using a crop growth model which uses remotely sensed data as up-to-date spatial input.

Yield modeling gives an early overview over the canopy development within fields and results in a realistic prognosis of the final yield.

Sustainable Irrigation can be realized with the TalkingFields Irrigation Service

More sustainable fertilization avoiding leaching of nitrogen can be acheived with the TalkingFields Fertilization Service

The TF Base Map shows statistically significant, persistent patterns of relative biomass. The satellite-based TF Base Map is calculated from multi-year satellite data to exclude influences of current weather conditions and different crop types.

The TF Biomass Map delivers the small-scale absolute biomass distribution on a field several times a year. Using a crop growth model and the integration of biomass observation from up-to-date satellite imagery, the TF Biomass Map can be calculated for any desired date.

The TF Yield Map allows us to deliver small-scale information about the yield level at the harvest date retrospectively. Using meteorological data, a crop growth model and the assimilation of canopy observations from satellite images of the respective harvest year, the TF Yield Map is deducted.

The application map constitutes either the analysis of an already carried out measure (sowing, fertilization, plant protection) or the deduction of a planned measure as generated by the farmer. The application map is transferred to the machine and serves as guideline for site-specific measures.

The data is delivered in a standard format for FMIS-integration. The data exchange is handled efficiently via API.
