Precision farming · Explained

Every field is different. Understanding those differences is where better decisions start.

Field variability leads to yield differences across a single field — causes are multiple: different soil properties, drainage, past cropping, elevation. FVA turns that variation into a score you can quantify.

Why it matters

Why understanding variability changes the game.

Most growers apply one flat rate to the whole field. Your field variability score is the first step to understanding if this could be eating your profit. 

1 Same field, different zones

Every field has zones that behave differently — measuring is the first step to managing.
 

2 Could flat rate application be eating your profit?

Is applying a flat rate of inputs to lower and higher performing zones driving poor performance? FVA is the first step to find out.
 

3 Better data, better decisions

A Variability Index score and productivity per zone gives you clear insight to your field before any decision is made.
 

4 Precision farming, accessible

No equipment, no installation. Just satellite data and Syngenta agronomic research, translated into something you can read.
 

How it works

How FVA reads your field.

A short form. A digital report. A picture of your field, zone by zone.

1

You tell us about your field

Postcode, size in hectares (minimum 0.5 ha), main crop. That's all we need.

2

We read the satellite data

5 years of satellite imagery combined into one average map. Report ready in about 6 hours.

3

You see your field, decoded

Digital dashboard with Zone maps, Variability Index, productivity difference per zone.

4

You decide what to do with it

Explore the map yourself, share it with your agronomist, or use it as a baseline for next season. No pressure, no follow-up unless you ask.

Your report, decoded

This is what a report looks like.

Every field has high-performing zones and lower-performing zones. FVA gives them a name, a score, and a map. Take a look on the right.

  • Variability Index score, 0 to 1, per field
  • Zone maps with productivity difference vs. field average
  • See difference between zones and how differences change over time
  • NDVI, plant-health signal from satellite, per zone

How the scores work

Two measurements, one variability picture.

The Variability Index combines two things: how different the parts of your field are (heterogeneity) and whether those differences hold over time (consistency).

Heterogeneity

How much crop performance varies across your field. We show the zones. The bigger the difference between zones, the higher the heterogeneity.

Consistency

How stable those zones have been across 5 years of history. A field with high consistency responds well to variable-rate. A field with low consistency makes it harder to apply rates precisely within the field.

What FVA shows you

A picture of your field, decoded.

Precision farming, simply

Your field isn't uniform. Your seeding plan shouldn't be either.

Fields have zones that already perform above average and zones that under-perform. FVA shows you which is which, so you match rate to real potential — save on the weak zones, optimise on the strong ones.
