Customised precision planting, driven by competency, product knowledge and innovate technology provides the right detail for success in every field, to maximise farm productivity. The Cropwise Planting Service provides practical and understandable solutions that put you in control. Data driven planting recommendations provide more control over uncertainty and trust into the commercial benefits of variable seed rate applications. The Service includes 5 key elements:

1. Field by Field Variability Assessment

The Cropwise Planting Service starts with a field by field variability assessment based on Satellite Imaging or your GPS yield maps.

The Cropwise Planting Service features innovative digital satellite field mapping technology to record and map the in-field variability and ensures a solid understanding of the unique field situation. We validate together the right number and the optimal shape of the Management Zones.

2. Estimate about the Economic Benefits of a Variable Seed Rate Application

Based on our assessment of the variability and yield potential of the field, we provide you with an estimate of the economic benefits of variable seed application.

Based on field variability and our hybrid-specific response models, we compare the potential yield gain between variable seed rates per management zone and a standard sowing. When calculating the economic benefit, we also take into account the cost of seeds and the price of the raw material (grains or silage).

3. Data Driven & Hybrid Specific Seed Rate Recommendation

Based on the results of our Syngenta CropEx trial network, we use validated seed rate models for our varieties. This allows Cropwise Planting to define and suggest to you an optimal sowing rate for the selected variety in each specific part of the field.

So-called seed rate response models, which are based on thousands of data points from large-scale and field trials, show the expected yield level of a specific Syngenta corn variety at different seed rates. Cropwise Planting recommends the optimal seed rate for each specific management zone to achieve the highest yield or economic benefit (yield minus seed costs)
