Corn can be a highly profitable crop from many generations farmers around the world have grown and harvested corn and for generations John Deere has been making the equipment they use it's a tradition we are proud of and one we intend to keep john deere provides equipment and irrigation solutions especially designed to help you increase productivity and
profitability when working in a large-scale farming operation it's important to have solutions that install and operate efficiently our irrigation solutions are designed to work with high
output equipment to reduce the time and labor associated with installation.
John Deere's satellite-based Auto track steering system ensures that drip lines are placed exactly in the center of each row the device map is pre-programmed according to the irrigation plan to guide the tractor exactly where to place the drip lines no matter how big the
fields the guidance system allows hands-free automated and precise navigation during the entire installation and line deployment process John Deere's guidance solutions are
tailored to suit your operational needs and comfort level they save time fuel and input costs with every pass digital recording of the precise dripline location allows all future
operations in the field like harvesting tillage or spraying to be executed exactly on the same pass avoiding compaction and damage to the drip lines end crop John Deere irrigation solutions utilize high-performing system components that filter regulate and distribute precise amounts of water and nutrients directly to the root zone of each plant in the field the result is
highly uniform growth and maximum control over the entire crop throughout the season as farm sizes of grown so has the need for more efficient and higher capacity planters every grower knows that planting has a narrow and optimal window of time and that John Deere has the equipment to help you plant quickly accurately and effectively.
After planting Mother Nature does her part in providing the plants with rain from the sky and nutrients from the soil however rain is not always on time and not always enough and plants that are thirsty do not produce what they can you can count on John Deere's irrigation
solutions to provide water and nutrients when and where they are needed when managed correctly drip irrigation allows the plants to develop a healthy root system right from the start
Subsurface drip irrigation is a precise solution where water is applied only to a portion of the soil leaving much of the surface dry this has a number of advantages including minimized weed growth optimized plant nutrition and reduced water waste it also frees up plenty of time to monitor the crop up close and personal at this stage the plant's root system is rapidly developing and is already proportional to the canopy height
John Deere's field connect is the perfect irrigation companion it senses the moisture in the soil and remotely transmits precise real-time data on soil moisture to help assess and analyze the water demand when it's time for spraying John Deere has a wide range of solutions that cover more area in less time resulting in high application efficiency and high productivity drip solutions enable spraying at any time even during irrigation the localized wedding
Patterns leave the soil dry allowing sprayers to operate with less compaction
Another advantage of drip irrigation is that all plants are always at the same stage of development optimizing cultivation and fertilization only with drip irrigation every row is
consistently filled with healthy crop in the corns life cycle there are periods when it cannot tolerate stress drip irrigation optimizes water availability at each stage of the crop keeping plants vigorous allowing full pollination and seed formation when you've got such a tall crop that produces hundreds of seeds you need to provide it with a steady supply of water corn production also requires large amounts of nutrients such as nitrogen phosphorus and potassium fast growth means fast withdrawal of essential nutrients from the soil drip irrigation enables you to combine the accurate amount of so labelled fertilizers with
the water and to provide it just when it's needed the proximity of roots to the nutrient outlet results in extremely high fertilizer application efficiency John Deere solutions include both sub surface and surface applications the premium materials and quality construction ensures many years of performance even in tough conditions
Uniformity is the key to better profitability only top-of-the-line drip irrigation systems deliver exactly the same amount of water to each plant at the same time resulting in extremely
Uniform
plans introducing drip irrigation requires professional support our dealers are
there to provide assistance based on information and experience accumulated by
John Deere over generations what happens under the soil surface we are also
curious so we decided to see for ourselves what the roots can tell us root
development is a direct reflection of the plant's response to the water nutrients
and air availability in the soil we used a hose to wash off the soil and expose
the flying roots one by one it takes time and patience to explore underground
and roots don't release their story easily when drip lines are installed above
ground water is released to the soil allowing the roots to grow and establish a
large feeding zone and strong Anchorage that will support the plants in stormy
days and keep it from lodging just under the dripper we can clearly see a
concentrated sponge of roots enjoying its proximity to the water source the
higher root density near the dripper allows the plant to rapidly absorb an
increased amount of water at peak demand during the hottest hours of the day the same
applies to subsurface drip applications or roots grow in most of the soil
profile with increased root density in proximity to the drip line here we can
clearly see a healthy cluster of roots revealing just where water is abundant
and where it is scarce
Underground we discover that the roots occupy the entire soil volume that receives water irrigation frequency is the key to keeping air and water balance in the soil at the end of each
irrigation
cycle only a small volume of soil near the dripper is saturated between
irrigation cycles there is a constant uptake of water by the plans at any given
moment the roots have highly available water as well as access to much needed
oxygen
After a
long season the whole cornfield reaches maturity at the same time the ears are
now full healthy and ready to be harvested
The
intensive irrigation and the prevention of water stress allowed the full
development of all kernels along the ear the whole genetic potential of the
corn has fully materialized
With good irrigation management the applied water is consumed by the corn to the last drop leaving but a dry soil maximizing water use efficiency when it's time to harvest John Deere's harvesting solutions take field performance and throughput to a whole new level
Our Auto
track steering system saves fuel and time ensuring the same high-precision day
or night and leaving operators free to concentrate on maximizing output John
Deere offers more choices increased capacity and added reliability for corn
growers around the world our irrigation solutions are designed to become part
of your operation and to help increase your profitability John Deere committed
to those who are linked to the land
