FARMSTAR

Farmstar is a special service proposed by Euralis Semences for winter oilseed rape. The service is aimed to help farmers in the management of their exploitation, as the experts of Farmstar team have developed a number of recommendations for multiple crops applicable in precision agriculture all along the growing season. It associates the most recent and advanced knowledge about the crop. It represents over 15 years of partnership between French agricultural technical institutes (Arvalis, Terres Inovia) and Airbus, leader in world satellite imagery.

Since 2 years Euralis Semences has been testing Farmstar in European countries for winter oilseed rape with a specific objective – to improve fertilization management and give farmers an opportunity to withdrawn maximum benefit from Euralis genetic.

WHY USING FARMSTAR FOR RAPESEED:

		PERFORMANCE	As a right input at the right moment is key to reach targeted yield and quality objective
		PROFITABILITY	As less nitrogen input mean less money and reduce environmental impact
		SERENITY	These recommendations are simple to understand and are given in “A ready to use” format
		SUPPORT	As Euralis experts are close to farmers to bring innovations
		ECOLOGICAL	Thanks to suistanable fertilizer application to prevent nitrogen leaking from the soil

THE RIGHT INPUT AT THE RIGHT MOMENT

Each field screening made with Farmstar brings reliable information that is directly applicable to the field and helps to act rapidly. The satellite image shows the heterogeneity of the plot, consequently the application of the nitrogen should be adjusted depending on each zone of the field. Further there are two options: automatic variable are application and average nitrogen rate application.
