NUTRIPLUS® Sat – Satellite harvest forecast for silage

How does NUTRIPLUS® Sat Service help you optimize your silage maize and silo quality?

Harvesting the silage maize at the right stage is the key objective for dairy farmers. It’s the guarantee to harvest the best feed value and to have a good conservation in the silo. NUTRIPLUS® Sat service is based on real-time satellite image technology as well as MAS Seeds® agronomic knowledge to follow and anticipate dry matter evolution in your silage maize fields. The service provides an insight of the dry matter field heterogeneity and a forecast of the optimum harvest period (32-35% dry matter) to help you optimize harvesting and silo quality. This service is ideal for dairy farmers who want to improve forage autonomy and increase their nutrition efficiency.

Two out of three farmers do not harvest at the
right stage.

50 to 250€/ha losses because of harvest at the wrong stage. Silage harvest can not be improvised. It needs to be precise.

The advantages of advanced satellite technology

Using real-time satellite images, an algorithm calculates the dry matter content of your field on the current date.

It also gives a forecast of the dry matter evolution over 2 to 15 days, with field heterogeneity and the dry matter distribution.

Satellites provide new images every 5 – 10 days. With every new image a new field report is generated and is automatically sent to your mail address.
