What insights can Skippy Scout provide?
For certain crops, Skippy Scout can provide insights on:
- Emergence: Count plants per square metre, compare to seed rates and yield
- Insect Damage: Find and count holes in a leaf, track insecticide effectiveness.
- Weeds: Identify and measure weeds % vs crop cover %,
- GAI + Vari-N: Crop only GAI for N recommendations. Unlike satellites, Skippy Scout separates out weeds to give a true measurement.
- Flowering: Measure flowering fraction %. Monitor how much of the crop is flowering.
- Post Flowering: Ratios for pod development, ripening, and senescence. Decide on key timings and spraying regimes.
