Intelinair Launches Disease Alert for 2022 Growing Season, Offers Shortened Package

Early detection of disease can lead to profit opportunities for farmers

 

Indianapolis – June 8, 2022 – Tar Spot took the Corn Belt by storm last year with its widespread infestation. This year farmers will have one more tool at their fingertips to spot disease before it happens, thanks to Intelinair and a newly introduced disease alert.

 

“We know that with disease, early detection is everything,” says Kevin Krieg, Director of Product Marketing with Intelinair. “Our AGMRI platform now provides an extra set of eyes on the field when it comes to disease detection thanks to our new alert.”

 

The new disease alert takes into consideration the same conditions agronomists have used for years to watch for disease: precipitation, topography, soil type and emergence – but, with one small addition: plant temperature. That addition makes a world of difference.

 

“Plants, like humans, show early signs of disease through elevated temperature,” adds Krieg. “Our thermal layers spots that early in a field and flags it for the agronomist or farmer to keep an eye on.”

 

That thermal layer proved beneficial in July 2021 when AGMRI’s thermal imaging spotted the potential for disease in a central Illinois cornfield days before human eyes would verify a Tar Spot outbreak.

 

AGMRI provides users a range of layers to compare different factors within a field, along with regular captures throughout the season to identify changes in the field from capture to another. This particular change couldn’t be explained and was flagged for the user.

 

“The early detection wasn’t meant to tell the grower to spray, but rather watch the field in a specific location,” says Krieg. “Scouting showed nothing early on, but by July 28 the infestation was visible and in the exact location that showed temperature variations earlier in the summer. They were able to treat the disease before it did any more damage or spread throughout the field.”

 

For those wanting to learn more about what AGMRI brings to in-season management, Intelinair says they are offering a shortened package just for Disease Season 2022.

 

“We are the early detection leaders and we’re ready to show how our product works,” adds Krieg. “We are offering a shortened, four-capture package to showcase the full capabilities of AGMRI to customers. The package will run from late June to early August, right in the prime of disease season.”

 

In addition to disease alerts, AGMRI provides early warning alerts for other challenges throughout the season including emergence, weeds, crop health and harvest readiness, along with indicators of nutrient deficiency, disease and replant opportunities.

Yield Forecast

Understand where your corn yield is based on the current state of the crop. As the season unfolds, see how it is having an impact on your final yield.

Yield Loss

Powered by years of Nitrogen research at the University of Missouri, our corn Yield Loss analytic, powered by NVision Ag, gives insight into potential yield loss due to Nitrogen deficiency. Optional analytic for nitrogen management.

Variable Dry Down

Understand which fields and which areas of the field are drying down to help plan your harvest logistics.

Underperforming Area

low crop health

Not all areas of your fields perform the same and low NDVI doesn’t necessarily mean there is anything you can do to fix it this year. Underperforming Area alerts you to the fields and areas of the fields that are performing below their historical potential. This will allow you to quickly find those fields and areas and make adjustments to get them back on target and protect yield.

Nutrient Deficiency

nutrient deficiency

As the crop grows, it can tell us more of what is wrong with it. This analytic finds the fields and areas of the fields where there is a nutrient deficiency so that issues can be addressed before grain fill.

Disease Stress

disease risk

In conjunction with the Thermal Stress, Disease Stress alert takes into account weather information to more precisely indicate the type of stress impacting the crop.

Thermal Stress

Using our thermal imagery, AGMRI can detect elevated heat patterns of the crop that indicate crop stress.

Crop Health

Crop Health

Get a complete view of your farms and fields and identify where yield potential is ranked highest to the lowest.

Weed Map & Weed Escape

weed escape

Know what fields and areas of the fields have weeds. With machine integration or based on planting date, be alerted to what fields have weeds that may be impacting yield.

Historical Field Performance

AGMRI creates 5 performance zones in each field based on the historical average of those zones. This data is used to compare the current season to help understand where you are underperforming from the zone potential.

Low Emergence

Notification of what fields and areas of the field have poor emergence.

Stand Assessment

strand assessment

AGMRI detects the established rows and uses computer vision and machine learning to determine the best segment of row and compares the rest of the field to that segment to give you a relative map. If machine data is integrated, a stand population map is returned.
