GreenSeeker Crop Sensing SystemThe Trimble® GreenSeeker® crop sensing system helps you effectively and precisely manage crop inputs on-the-go. With GreenSeeker,
you can address field variability by applying the right amount of fertiliser, in the right place, at the right time.
- Provides instant topdress fertiliser application for inputs such as nitrogen
- Uses optical sensors to measure and quantify crop health or vigour
- Compatible with both the TMX-2050™ display and FmX® integrated display
- Works with most variable rate controllers and delivery systems
- Can be mounted on booms on most sprayers/spreaders
The GreenSeeker system uses optical sensors to measure and quantify the variability of the crop. It then creates a targeted prescription to treat the crop variability. Use GreenSeeker to apply your UAN, UREA,
and NH3 to help increase crop yields and ultimately increase your profitability.
- Create a high-yielding environment for your crop to grow
- Reduce nutrient input costs by eliminating excess application
- Eliminate the need for application maps or agronomist recommendations
- Operate night or day, and in foggy or cloudy weather

GreenSeeker Handheld Crop SensorThe Trimble GreenSeeker handheld crop sensor is an affordable, easy to use measurement device that can be used to assess
the heath or vigour of a crop in order to make better nutrient management decisions on your farm.
- High-quality optical sensor to instantly measure plant vigor
- Easy-to read display, even in sunlight
- Simple pull-type trigger and comfortable hand grip
- Micro USB charging port
Use the GreenSeeker handheld to instantly take a reading of your crop's health. Readings can be used to make non-subjective decisions regarding the amount of fertiliser to be applied to your crop, resulting
in more efficient use of fertiliser.
How it works...
- The sensor emits brief bursts of red and infrared light, and then measures the amount of each type of light that is reflected back from the plant
- The sensor continues to sample the scanned area as long as the trigger remains engaged
- The sensor displays the measured value in terms of an NDVI reading (ranging from 0.00 to 0.99) on its LCD display screen
- The strength of the detected light is a direct indicator of the health of the crop; the higher the reading, the healthier the plant
Use the Connected Farm™ scout app on a smartphone or tablet to calculate fertiliser application rates from crop readings taken with the GreenSeeker handheld.
