Yield mapping with HarvestEye
Join the PotatoLink team as we speak with Vee Gururajan from HarvestEye and Abe Montano from Elders as they explain the new technological developments that may make accurate, GPS based, yield monitoring an easy activity in potato production.
Smart farming using simple tech
In Issue 06 of PotatoLink magazine, Ryan Hall looks at the accessibility and mobility of technology available to growers in the form of drones, remote sensing and smartphone apps.
De-mystifying the carbon story
Adrian James covers the current state of play of carbon in agriculture, carbon neutral farming and the use of farm carbon calculators. In addition he explores the opportunities in farm carbon offsets.
Spatial variability in potato cropping to improve yield and production efficiency
Using modern sensor technology high levels of data can now be gathered from crops as they grow. This 2016 report explores how this data can be assessed to gain a greater understanding of productivity in different parts of a paddock. This project is a crucial step towards site specific crop management for the potato industry.
