Agrovista UK offers Axis which is a cloud-based technical information exchange system that allows agronomy and precision farming data to be uploaded and shared in real time with advisers, agronomists, operators and contractors.
Users have instant access to crop management information. As part of the system, Agrovista has worked closely with Muddy Boots software to integrate the Greenlight Grower Management (GLGM) system to ensure a seamless flow of information between the key people involved in a modern agricultural business.
Growers are able to add cropping into GLGM, which will immediatel y synchronise with the agronomist to improve efficient management and cut down on double entry of data, says Agrovista. The system allows changes in cropping plans and field cropping to be passed between users quickly at the click of a button.
Axis will also provide growers with data such as technical and trials information , detailed weather reports and account updates. GLGM integrates into Axis to provide an electronic library of new and past recommendations plus cropping information, nutrition and agronomy reports.
The higher-level option will give integrated field mapping solutions a visual, intuitive way of using available data. Upload your combine yield maps, overlay your DGPS soil map, upload your crop information from mobile sensors and for example, create variable rate application plans for seeds or fertilisers. All can be seen as layers on a field map, to visualise performance.
