Stand Count analysis for Variable-rate Seeding

Stand Count analysis for Variable-rate Seeding

The benefits of VRS Stand Count analysis

VRS Stand Count analysis shows the exact number of plants, compares it to the expected results, and calculates percentages under the norm in each zone in the field with the same seeding rate. With it, you can get a uniformed stand establishment, match plant populations with productivity zones within a field and count plants in the best and the worst zones. Also, you can compare the targeted seeding rate with the actual conditions in the area and analyze seeding results to ensure that the target rates are accurately placed to optimize returns.

The best time to apply it

This analysis can be performed from V3 to R3 growing stage for corn, during the formation of side shoots, inflorescence emergence, and flowering stages for soybeans. As for wheat, you can run VRS Stand Count analysis from tillering stage to flowering. Click on other crops below to check calendars and analysis guidelines. The rules are the same as for regular Stand Count analysis.

Supported crops

VRS Stand Count analysis is ideal for field crops and can be used to give you precise stand count information about wheat, barley, corn, soybean, potato, canola, sunflower, sugar cane, sugarbeet, tobacco, and other crops. Regardless of the crop type, use it to reduce crop input costs in areas with low productivity, and improve the quality of your plants. Click here to read the guide on how to request an analysis.
