X30 Optimal Lines Outstanding tool for controlled traffic Farming Reduces damage from heavy or repeated passes Select any line in a field and autosteer parallel lines Easily activated option of Topcon's System 350 (X30 Controller) CropSpecTM On-the-go crop canopy sensor Real-time integrated crop monitoring and application Reduces time and cost over blanket coverage Compatible with Topcon System 350 (X30 Controller) Controlled traffic farming with unmatched versatility Primarily created to reduce plant damage in sugar cane applications, Optimal Lines provides many additional benefits in farming situations where flexibility in GPS lines is needed to accommodate varied field conditions and equipment setups over many years. Controlled traffic farming (CTF) reduces soil compaction damage caused by heavy or repeated passes over the land. Well documented negative consequences include increased fuel use, poor seedbeds, reduced yields and poor soil function in terms of water infiltration, drainage and greenhouse gas mitigation. A controlled traffic farming system confines machinery to the least possible area of permanent traffic lanes. With no control, machines can run randomly over the land, compacting as much as 75% of the area within one season and at least the whole area by the second season. Soils can take years to recover. A proper CTF system can reduce tracking to just 15% and this is always in the same place. Just-in-time crop management Monitor in-field variability, treat on-the-go, or save data for future analysis and creation of prescription maps. CropSpec operates with any of the X30 application controllers. Based on Topcon s core competency of optics, CropSpec uses pulsing laser diodes. The units mount on the cabin roof out of harm s way, with less potential for damage to crops or equipment. The sensors measure plant reflectance to determine chlorophyl content, which correlates to nitrogen concentration in the leaf. This non-destructive, non-contact method provides accurate, stable readings and repeatable values. CropSpec was developed in cooperation with Yara International, a leading world supplier of nutrients. Create Optimal Lines "on the fly" with touch-screen icons. Automatic detection of nearest lines. Manually select a line to steer from by simply touching on the screen (all lines are numbered) or jump to the next or previous line. Works like having multiple identical curves in one field without having to load new lines. Lines can be easily loaded from shape files. 14 www.topconpa.com Reduce fertilizer costs by applying based only on crop need Create prescription maps, or prescribe and apply in a single pass 24/7 operation Cab mounted sensors protected and out of harms way Largest sensor footprint in the industry reads a larger percentage of the area to be applied Provides on-the-go averaging with user-determined target rates Views crops at a uniform angle to the crop rather than directly above to minimize the effects of shadowing, crop movement, etc. Data and Mapping The X30 mapping and logging functions provide a wealth of data for recordkeeping, as-applied maps, future analysis or prescription designs. sensing footprint Three Operating Modes Read and Record Allows the user to collect and store data for offline analysis and creation of prescription maps sensing footprint User Determined Rate Control Hi/Low basic mode - set high and low points then perform on-the-go application using field averaging.
