This allows for tracking of nutrient variations between different storage locations as well as differences within individual tank loads. This data is then used to control application amounts as well as the creation of as applied documentation for each nutrient across the field. With John Deere Manure Constituent Sensing, ingredients can be applied based on a target rate for one nutrient and a limit rate for a second ingredient (i.e., target rate for N, limit rate for P).<br><br>HarvestLab 3000 utilizing near-infrared sensor (NIR) technology paired with John Deere Manure Constituent Sensing will record manure nutrient levels for total nitrogen (N), ammonium-N (NH4), phosphate (P), potassium (K) and dry matter. Tests have shown that liquid manure can be highly variable for nitrogen (N), phosphate (P) and potassium (K) between different loads with a variance factor of 4-6 for nitrogen, a factor of 10 for dry matter and a factor of 25 for phosphate.<br><br>John Deere Manure Constituent Sensing enables significant improvements in accuracy of information and application of liquid manure nutrients as compared to taking a limited number of samples per storage location or transport vehicle. The John Deere HarvestLab 3000 sensor and the respective calibration curve have been developed to deliver a higher degree of accuracy as compared to limited random samples sent to commercial labs. The NIR sensor with manure calibrations has been benchmarked against both commonly used analysis methods in laboratories (wet chemical) and NIRS lab analysis. The results indicate that the relative error for HarvestLab 3000 Manure Constituent Sensing is in the range for samples analyzed using wet chemical laboratory tests.&nbsp;</p> <div class="seccion-images"> <div> <img src="http://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/manure_sensing/constituent_measure_1.jpg" alt="#"> </div> <div> <img src="http://salesmanual.deere.com/sales/salesmanual/images/NA/ams/manure_sensing/constituent_measure_2.jpg" alt="#"> </div> </div> <p>Ingredients/constituents which can be measured with John Deere Manure Sensing:</p> <table style="width: 748px; height: 154px;" border="1" cellspacing="2" cellpadding="2"> <tbody> <tr> <td rowspan="2">&nbsp;</td> <td style="text-align: center;" colspan="7"><strong>Ingredients/constituents</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong>Dry Matter<br>(DM)*</strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;">Total N</span></strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong>P<sub><span style="font-size: small;">2</span></sub>O<sub><span style="font-size: small;">5</span></sub></strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong>K<sub><span style="font-size: small;">2</span></sub>O</strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong>NH<sub><span style="font-size: small;">4</span></sub></strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><p><strong>Volume</strong></p></td> <td style="text-align: center;"><strong>Flow rate</strong></td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Ingredient</strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;">X</td> <td style="text-align: center;">X</td> <td style="text-align: center;">X</td> <td style="text-align: center;">X</td> <td style="text-align: center;">X</td> <td style="text-align: center;">---</td> <td style="text-align: center;">X</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Unit send from HarvestLab 3000 sensor</strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;">Percent</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">---</td> <td style="text-align: center;">---</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Unit displayed when recording is enabled</strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;">Percent</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">gal./ac</td> <td style="text-align: center;">gpm</td> </tr> <tr> <td><strong>Unit used for the GreenStar™ 3 2630/4600 CommandCenter™ /4640 Universal Display documentation</strong></td> <td style="text-align: center;">Percent</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">lb/acre</td> <td style="text-align: center;">gal./ac</td> <td style="text-align: center;">gpm</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>* within a&nbsp;DM range of 2.5 – 10 percent</p></div></div></div></div><div class="accordion2_component"><div class="accordion2_top"><div class="text-size-medium text-weight-bold">Speed control to ensure a consistent application</div><div class="accordion2_icon w-embed"><svg width="100%" height="100%" viewBox="0 0 32 32" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M25.3333 15.667V16.3336C25.3333 16.7018 25.0349 17.0003 24.6667 17.0003H17V24.667C17 25.0351 16.7015 25.3336 16.3333 25.3336H15.6667C15.2985 25.3336 15 25.0351 15 24.667V17.0003H7.3333C6.96511 17.0003 6.66663 16.7018 6.66663 16.3336V15.667C6.66663 15.2988 6.96511 15.0003 7.3333 15.0003H15V7.33365C15 6.96546 15.2985 6.66699 15.6667 6.66699H16.3333C16.7015 6.66699 17 6.96546 17 7.33365V15.0003H24.6667C25.0349 15.0003 25.3333 15.2988 25.3333 15.667Z" fill="currentColor"></path></svg></div></div><div style="width: 1118px; height: 0px;" class="accordion2_bottom"><div class="margin-bottom margin-small"><div><div class="seccion-images"></div> <p>John Deere 7X30, 8X30, and 9X30 Tractors with PowerShift™ transmission&nbsp;and&nbsp;6R, 7R, 8R, and 9R Tractors with&nbsp;IVT™ or e23™ transmissions equipped with Tractor Implement Automation (TIA) can achieve the desired application rate faster and more precisely than flow-based regulation only.

Accurate measurement and documentation of dry matter, starch, protein, acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), undigested neutral detergent fiber (uNDF), and ash allows performance tracking of different crop types and varieties. For better fertilization planning, operators can use the HarvestLab 3000 sensor to determine and document the nutrient level which was taken off the field during harvest.

The system allows the calculation of precise prescription maps to fill nutrient levels to the desired target; therefore, the producer pays for quality and not for quantity.
