Agromek has launched Agromek Stars Special Edition 2021, where Agromek’s exhibitors have been given the opportunity to submit their product news for judgement. The exhibitor’s product news will be judged and rated by the same criteria as the well-known Agromek Stars, which you experience at a physical held Agromek. Our focus will still be to ensure a high quality of the judgement and rating of the product news. Read more about the concept here.
Search in the list below and find all product news, which have been judged and rated in this year’s Agromek Stars Special Edition. You can filter and search for respectively 1-, 2- or 3 stars news in the list below.

The farmer is now able to see the expected yield from winter wheat or maize fields throughout the growing season – allowing input into the fields to be adjusted accordingly. It is also possible to view a map showing yield distribution in a field, making it easy to see which areas are doing well and which might need an extra input during the growing season. All this happens via the yield forecast function in CropManager.
Yield predictions at national and regional levels have been used by nations for many years. What is new is that CropManager now provides Danish crop farming with access to yield forecasts for individual fields throughout the growing season. In this way the planned treatments, in and between fields, can be adjusted in response to the expected yields that are predicted based on what the forecast model has until now "seen" from space. Maps in the form of yield maps, weed maps, soil maps, etc., are often subject to over-interpretation. It is important therefore that forecast maps are supported by advice and training in order to prevent over-reaction. It would help if the forecast could be based on an uncertainty map. Once the forecast model has looked at several fields and developed a degree of certainty, it really becomes of interest to the farmer, as automated optimisation and adjustment of future planned treatment then becomes possible. This means greater peace of mind for the farmer, and consultants are able to consider and optimise production at a higher level.
