John Deere, a leading innovator in agricultural technology, offers ExactRate™, a revolutionary precision application system designed to optimize input efficiency and crop performance. Continue reading to learn the key features of John Deere ExactRate™ and explore how your operation can benefit from this cutting-edge technology.

What is John Deere ExactRate™?

John Deere ExactRate™ is an advanced precision application system that allows farmers to apply liquid fertilizer and crop protection products with unparalleled accuracy and consistency. This technology is integrated into John Deere’s planter equipment, providing farmers precise control over application rates and minimizing waste. 

What are the key features of John Deere ExactRate™?

The core features of John Deere ExactRate™ include:

• Variable Rate Application: ExactRate™ enables variable rate application, allowing farmers to adjust application rates based on field conditions, soil types, and crop requirements. This precision ensures optimal nutrient and chemical distribution across the field. 
• Individual Nozzle Control: ExactRate™ utilizes individual nozzle control technology, allowing each nozzle to adjust independently to maintain consistent application rates even during turns and overlaps. This eliminates over-application or under-application in specific areas of the field. 
• Section Control: The system incorporates section control functionality, automatically shutting off individual sections of the planter when passing over previously treated areas or non-crop areas. This minimizes overlap and reduces input wastage. 
• Integrated Data Management: ExactRate™ integrates seamlessly with John Deere’s data management systems, allowing farmers to monitor real-time application rates, coverage, and field performance. This data-driven approach enables informed decision-making and optimization of input usage. 

How can my operation benefit from ExactRate™?

Adding John Deere ExactRate™ will provide your operation with multiple benefits:

• Enhanced Efficiency: ExactRate’s variable rate application and individual nozzle control optimize input efficiency by precisely targeting nutrients and chemicals where they are needed most. This reduces overall input costs while maximizing crop performance. 
• Improved Crop Heath: By ensuring uniform application across the field, ExactRate™ promotes consistent crop growth and health. It also balances nutrient distribution and precise runoff, reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable farming practices. This technology supports responsible stewardship of resources and compliance with regulatory standards. 
• Data-Driven Insights: The integrated data management capabilities of ExactRate™ provide valuable insights into application performance, field variability, and crop response. This data empowers farmers to make data-driven decisions, optimize inputs, and continuously improve operational efficiency.
