Sow better, harvest more
Our Intelligent Planting Solution gives growers full control over the seeding process - from individual control of the amount of seed in each planting row to selective and uniform planting of each field area. The result: reduced costs and maximized yields.
Intelligent Planting combines xarvio's agronomic and digital expertise with software and proven hardware from Bosch's high-volume production. Bosch technology ensures optimal seeding based on satellite imagery and variable seeding maps, which are individually calculated for each field area by xarvio's algorithms.

What are the benefits of Intelligent Planting?
The innovative planting solution ensures optimum seed metering at all times - individually adapted to the fertility of the respective field area. In addition, Intelligent Planting also enables subsystem control. These include fertilizer application, opening and folding of the seed drill, and control of the air suspension.
The networked system uses map and sensor data to automatically determine the optimum seed and fertilizer rates in real time and apply them efficiently. Farmers not only benefit from the best possible land use and ideal plant growth thanks to precise seed spacing, but also save valuable resources such as seed, fertilizer and fuel. Intelligent Planting is also available as a retrofit solution and can be easily integrated into existing seed drills.
Dynamic seed rate application
xarvio's algorithms divide the field to be planted into areas of different fertility. The intelligent software uses satellite images, among other things, to create detailed application maps. Using this database, the system then automatically applies the dynamic seed and fertilizer rates - for maximum yield in each field area.
Full seeding control even on curvy terrain
The route in the field is not always straight or level, but Intelligent Planting finds a way. Thanks to automatic control and individual adjustment for the inner and outer radius, the system prevents uncontrolled seed spreading and enables optimum seeding at all times, even on curvy terrain.
Overlap control
Double seeding on overlapping planting rows and thus unnecessary seed costs are no longer a problem with Intelligent Planting. The system detects areas that have already been planted and automatically deactivates the respective seed lines. And as soon as the already planted area ends, seeding continues seamlessly again.
Wie funktioniert Intelligent Planting?
Intelligent Planting ermöglicht die Steuerung der Aussaat und Düngerausbringung in fester und variabler Menge, ohne dass eine manuelle Regulierung über ein Getriebe erforderlich ist. Feste Mengen können vom Fahrer direkt vom Traktor aus via Display festgelegt werden. Variable Mengen mit je nach Feldbereich unterschiedlichen Abständen zwischen den Saatkörnern werden automatisch mithilfe von Aussaat-, beziehungsweise Applikationskarten ausgebracht. Intelligent Planting sorgt dann in vier hochautomatisierten Schritten für eine optimale Verteilung auf dem Feld.

Benefit for farmers
Higher crop yields
The Intelligent Planting solution ensures optimal land use and ideal crop growth by ensuring correct plant spacing and avoiding overlap. Field tests have shown that this can increase crop yields by up to 13 percent, depending on the field and growing conditions.
Reduced costs
The intelligent and dynamic control of the applied seed and fertilizer quantities enables significant savings of up to 20 percent in the operating resources used (seed, fertilizer, fuel).
More comfort
Intelligent Planting makes life easier for farmers: The extensive automation of sowing and fertilizer use relieves you with a noticeable simplification of your work. In addition, you receive useful information via app, which makes all decisions around sowing much easier. This includes useful recommendations as well as exact documentation and analysis of all processes that have taken place.
