🌾 Dry Matter Mapping
Understand Your Crop’s Effective Production
Dry matter (Materia Seca) is the final, effective output of your production system, measured in kilograms per hectare (kg/Ha). It provides a precise, quantifiable indicator of crop performance, allowing farmers and agronomists to evaluate the true productivity of a field beyond just visual assessments.
📏 What Does the Map Show?
Our Dry Matter Maps display productivity in clearly defined zones based on the real amount of dry biomass.
Each zone reflects a range from 0 up to X kg/Ha, depending on the specific crop and growth conditions.
- 🧮 Total Lot Production is automatically calculated by summing all mapped zones.
- 🟩 Maps are built over basic minimum spatial units of 10 m² (square meters), allowing for high-resolution analysis.
- 🧭 Data can be tracked over time to analyze seasonal and historical yield performance.
🌱 Compatible Crops
Dry matter mapping is available for a wide range of crops, including:
- 🌿 Alfalfa
- 🫛 Yellow & green peas
- 🌾 Oats
- 🌼 Camelina
- 🌻 Sunflower

📊 How Is It Measured?
Dry matter is determined through standardized diagnostic procedures using satellite imagery and field sampling, depending on the crop and stage.
🔍 Why Is Dry Matter Important?
✅ Evaluate effective productivity
✅ Plan for forage supply, silage, or grain harvest
✅ Identify underperforming zones
✅ Optimize fertilization or irrigation practices
✅ Integrate with nutrient (biomass and soil) and terrain data for full-field analysis
📂 Available Formats
- Maps available in PDF, image, and GIS-compatible formats
- Integration possible with variable-rate systems and management software
