Take Atfarm wherever you go
Apply fertiliser with precision no matter what:
Manual Variable N-Rate Applications are possible for any spreader because of GPS technology.
Turn your smartphone into a variable rate
spreader with GPS technology
You don’t need a new spreader to apply nitrogen variably
Try Drive Mode in the Tasks tab of the Atfarm app and spread variably with the machinery you already have.
“Drive Mode is the new Atfarm solution that allows farmers to do Variable N-Rate Application and scouting even when they don’t have a variable rate spreader. Thanks to this, now we can extend Variable N-Rate Application to all farmers.”

How does Drive Mode work for Variable N-Rate Application?
Atfarm’s Drive Mode allows you to get the benefits of Variable N-Rate Application with the spreader you already have.
The Atfarm app uses your GPS location to guide either your tractor speed or fertiliser flow rate to apply nitrogen with precision across your field.
Variable speed
Best for: Single-rate spreaders
How it works: Set your spreader’s flow rate in the Atfarm app and as you move across your field, you are guided how slow or fast to drive.
Your speed adjusts how much fertiliser lands in each area of the field (slower spreads more fertiliser, faster spreads less).
Variable flow rate
Best for: Spreaders with manual flow rate controls
How it works: As you drive across your field, the Atfarm app guides you when to change the flow rate of your spreader according to the Variable N-Rate Application map you are using.
