Agriculture

 

Since 1994 OmniSTAR has been providing services to the agricultural industry. OmniSTAR provides a means to maximize agronomically and control some of the variability associated with crop production, allowing farmers to optimise yield, while minimizing input costs.

Precision farming techniques can benefit all aspects of the crop production cycle from seedbed preparation through to harvest. The OmniSTAR range of services are extremely useful for:

  • Auto-steer machine guidance control
  • Ground and aerial variable rate applications
  • Tillage depth
  • Drilling rate
  • Soil sampling
  • Mapping and boundary marking
  • Using seasonally for harvesting, spreading, seeding and spraying
