About Trimble
Trimble Agriculture develops innovative
technology that transforms the crop
production cycle, driving efficiency,
sustainability and profitability while
protecting the environment
Variable Rate Application
Varying rates across the field is not
new, technology is making it easier and
more precise
Two Types
– Map based VRA (prescription)
– Sensor based VRA

Trimble Solutions for Sensor
Based VRA
Vigor-Based Nitrogen Management
• 2 Bands of Light: Red/NIR
• Red absorbed by plant tissue
• NIR reflected by plant tissue
• Sensor Output: NDVI (Range: 0-1.0)
• NDVI = (NIR-Red)/(NIR+Red)
• Operate Day or Night
NDVI = Normalized Difference Vegetative Index
GreenSeeker® Systems
GreenSeeker Capabilities
Measures differences in crop health and vigor
in real time, not a service.
Facilitates real time variable rate applications.
Maps crop condition, targeted prescriptions
and as-applied data.
Available for repetitive use throughout the
year.
Automatic Section Control
Simple idea, huge payback
Keeps track of
where you’ve
applied and of noapply zones
Shuts-off sections
or rows precisely
Works with seed,
liquid, granular
and anhydrous
5%+ savings, one
year payback
likely
Manual shutoff is wasteful
Automatic section control minimizes overlap and slow down

Trimble advantages in section control
Polygon based detection allows Trimble to control up to 24
individual sections and control overlap to the inch level
– Competitors use less accurate grid based systems – typically with 1 - 3
ft resolution. If using a 3 ft grid, you need to overlap by the full grid least
(3 ft) before the system will shut off a section
Best real time display of what is going on in the field
Trimble offers products that range from entry to high end
Precision Positioning
What is ‘GPS’?
GPS = The Global Positioning System
A collection of 24-32 satellites that provide
accurate position information worldwide
Copied from “GPS Navstar User’s Overview” prepared by GPS
Joint Program Office, 1984
What is GNSS?
Global Navigation
Satellite System
GPS
WAAS
EGNOS
GLONASS
GALILEO
??
How does GPS work?
Satellites are used as reference points to
calculate your current position
GPS receiver times how long it takes a radio
signal to reach us from a satellite and uses that
time to calculate distance to the satellite
At least 4 satellites needed to compute a 3
dimensional position (latitude, longitude, and
altitude)
Transcend Family
Accurate positioning is at the core of every
precision Ag operation
The most complete GPS family line-up
Transcend is more than just a GPS chip…
– It is the dedicated investment in positioning
development that makes GPS work specifically for
Agriculture
– It is features only found in Trimble receivers:
OnPath™ Advance Filter Technology
Trimble™ RTK
And many more to come…
