The Maize Manager app consists of four key sections:

Harvest Manager
This tool assesses the condition of the crop and advises on target harvest date to ensure the crop is cut at the optimum dry matter to maximise feed values and fermentation quality. A separate assessment is made of the dry matter of the cob and of the stem, the app will then determine if the crop is ready for harvest and recommend a cutting date. If harvest is not imminent, the app uses postcode related weather data to predict when the crop will be suitable for harvest.

Maturity Manager
Helping you select the most appropriate maize variety, this section uses Ontario Heat Unit data to provide a recommended FAO range, from which varieties can be chosen to be successfully grown at the farm’s postcode.

Feed Manager
This is a brand new concept which assesses varieties on the expected financial return per hectare, using yield and energy content data to compare varieties with the average based on anticipated milk income, or gas output where used as feedstock for anaerobic digestion.

Sowing Manager
Provides a recommended seed rate and calculates the number of seed bags required for the hectarage to be drilled.
