The Global Neighbor DEFC field test unit is being used in fields and labs across the U.S., Canada, Australia and Europe.
| Global Neighbor3 Cutting-Edge Technologies Strip-Tillers Should Know About
See the future of farm technology from Raven, Global Neighbor and Arva Intelligence in a special classroom session spotlighting cutting-edge product innovations at the 2024 National Strip-Tillage Conference Aug. 8-9 in Madison, Wis. You’ll be able to evaluate these technologies from the questions (and answers) as your peers digest their application to their farms.
Global Neighbor’s Directed Energy Flora Control (DEFC) uses a blend of light, applied in high intensities for short durations, to affect plants and seeds. This application of non-laser light disrupts plant growth, enabling an alternative to herbicide treatments for weed control, in addition to a multitude of other beneficial uses. DEFC also can simplify and augment the use of cover crops by providing a means of managing weeds that persist through the cover crop mat, and providing a non-chemical means of terminating cover crops earlier in the growing season than what crimping allows.
Raven's Augmenta Field Analyzer uses computing, computer machine vision learning (CVML), and AI to translate camera images into agronomic insights and fine-tune prescriptions, implementing the best VRA precision — in real-time. Furthermore, its LiveVRA services are add-on algorithms tailored to the sensor's data analysis: In-Season Nitrogen, Plant Growth Regulators, Harvest Aids/Desiccants, Multizone Nitrogen, & Scouting. With its 138-ft. viewing field, it perceives and analyzes specific environmental factors, translating them into prescriptions that are applied automatically. Examples include mapping along with portal and data-sharing capabilities.
Arva Intelligence’s CropForce and Carbon Ready solutions consolidate farmers’ existing data streams to uncover agronomic insights for recommendations to maximize field profit and quantify the environmental value of every acre.
