Variable rate prescription maps
Variable rate technology in precision agriculture focuses on many areas of crop production, including applying herbicides and pesticides, lime, gypsum and other common crop nutrients, seeding and detecting weeds and diseased crops.
VRT works by using GPS and GIS technology to locate precise locations in the field for material application, combined with collected data that informs a VRT-enabled piece of equipment, such as a seeder, sprayer or fertilizer spreader, exactly where and at what rates to apply products.
