[10:41:09]<Leandro>hi
[10:41:09]<farmBOT>ni hao
[10:47:21]<Leandro>does anyone know any software like farm works?
[10:47:26]<Leandro>for precision agriculture?
[10:48:17]<svenn>trimble
[10:53:19]<Leandro>yes
[10:53:29]<Leandro>farm works is a trimble software
[10:55:40]<svenn>what do you want to achieve from the software you buy?
[10:55:55]<svenn>drive the tractor for you?
[10:56:06]<svenn>log your driving?
[10:57:33]<svenn>precision agriculture is a huge hype to lock farmers to one supplier.
[11:00:24]<svenn>and tap into the big data coming from all the sensors
[11:04:13]<Leandro>oh sorry. Im new in this subject yet
[11:04:46]<svenn>nothing to be sorry for, I am just biased.
[11:04:49]<Leandro>Im trying to make a fertility map
[11:05:51]<Leandro>im watched open farms and it is great use of sensors
[11:05:57]<Leandro>sorry about my english too :P
[11:06:03]<Leandro>im from brazil
[11:06:14]<Leandro>i have a small coffee farm
[11:08:37]<svenn>how do you measure fertility in coffee for charting? I know nothing about the coffee I drink
[11:10:41]<Leandro>:)
[11:10:59]<Leandro>i have 7 ha of coffee
[11:11:10]<Leandro>do you use hectare?
[11:11:16]<Leandro>or another units?
[11:11:19]<svenn>in europe we use hectare
[11:11:37]<Leandro>i get 20 random point
[11:12:23]<svenn>earth samples?
[11:12:38]<Leandro>I mix the 20 subsamples
[11:12:42]<Leandro>yes
[11:12:50]<Leandro>and then send to lab
[11:12:59]<svenn>ok, same as I do
[11:13:18]<Leandro>now, i want to divide 7 hectare in 14 area with 0,5 hectare
[11:13:28]<Leandro>make a grid of my plantation
[11:14:06]<Leandro>to try application of variable rate fertilizer
[11:14:43]<svenn>you can drive tractor between coffee plants?
[11:14:50]<Leandro>what do you plant?
[11:15:01]<svenn>I do barley and oats
[11:15:29]<svenn>I drive *in* my plants when applying fertilizer
[11:15:52]<Leandro>coffee is planted in rows and there are corridors between rows
[11:16:10]<Leandro>ill drive in this corridors
[11:16:33]<svenn>what about on-the-run n-sensor analysis which measure the green in your plants?
[11:17:02]<svenn>It will not replace earth samples, but augment
[11:17:47]<svenn>But you want a software to chart your samples, create the fertilizer map and then transport to iso-bus tractor
[11:18:19]<Leandro>it is like this
[11:18:22]<svenn>and then just drive up and down your corridors and the fertilizer applied is adjusted by your rtk gps location
[11:18:36]<Leandro>https://www.dinheirorural.com.br/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2016/12/img...
[11:20:09]<Leandro>i never measure the green in my plants
[11:20:24]<Leandro>is it done by a drone?
[11:21:09]<svenn>you can have nir-camera on a drone, but most likely n-sensor by yara on the roof of your tractor
[11:21:26]<svenn>n-sensor is also a nir-camera
[11:22:05]<svenn>I wanted to build my own nir-camera for agri work last year, but I am still in planning phase
[11:22:09]<Leandro>do you have any model to indicate?
[11:23:07]<Leandro>i was thinking about first create the fertilizer map
[11:23:48]<svenn>I thought you could do this in farmos
[11:24:00]<svenn>but I have never tried it
[11:25:10]<Leandro>do a fertilizer map?
[11:25:27]<Leandro>i have to grigage the point, havent i?
[11:25:40]<Leandro>i think farmos cant do this
[11:25:43]<Leandro>maybe qgis
[11:26:00]<svenn>qgis can do all you want
[11:26:07]<Leandro>cheers :)
[11:26:08]<svenn>viking is also a tool
[11:27:16]<Leandro>what is viking?
[11:28:05]<svenn>it is a gps data analyser
[11:29:30]<svenn>http://www.qlandkarte.org/ is also a tool
[11:29:39]<svenn>gtg
[11:29:44]<Leandro>thanks, ill try
[11:30:39]<Leandro>and about nir camera
[11:30:48]<Leandro>do you indicate any nir camera model?
[11:30:53]<Leandro>and software?
[11:31:18]<Leandro>you are very clever and intelligente svenn
