Satellite images for N

[JonL]

How are people getting on with the satellite services this year? Happy with imagery available or not?

Did our first dose of n off one no issues. Last year only managed first dose due to cloud so got a refund.

SOYL were very slow to calibrate the images - 10 days from the photo & still nothing to create a spreader file from. In the end I used an older image to generate a shape file as there wasn't enough difference in GAI variability to warrant waiting any longer for a fresh one.

It's difficult with the amount of cloud cover around here recently to get an instant image but SOYL's modelling should close the gap up so the older images aren't too out of date.

Look at real time scanning and application

Or speak to our nitrogen sensing product specialist Nick Abbey. Pm me for his number

haven't looked yet, first dose was small flat rate AS, next one will be variable urea in a few weeks so hope there will be some imagery there to use for that.

I am not getting on well at all this year as the data seems all over the place. Below is a selection of my fields with the average field LAI
Field ------------16-2-15-----------2-3-15-------19-3-15------26-3-15-----------1-4-15

01Mid20---------2.05 ----------------2.1------------2.19--------1.45----------------1.59


01h Corkhills----1.76-----------------2.14----------2.22---------1.47---------------1.61


05eBuildingsN----2.77--------------1.65-----------1.73----------1.21--------------1.33


09bFar Vine------2.93----------------2.08---------2.17----------1.41--------------1.54

These fields are growing like mad and much bigger (to big) now than in Febuary.
Is anybody else having the same problem.
