The ROSA MM Monitoring Machine is designed for highly efficient soil sampling and monitoring of agricultural lands. This unique equipment performs a wide range of tasks — from sample preparation to rapid analysis of the physical and chemical composition of the soil, crop condition monitoring, disease and pest detection, and the creation of electronic field maps.
Key Features and Advantages
- Automated Soil Sampling
The ROSA MM is equipped with an automatic soil sampling system based on task maps with high geolocation accuracy. Key specifications include:- Sampling depth: 0.25 to 0.6 m, allowing collection at various soil layers.
- Sampling time per point: 5 to 10 seconds, dramatically accelerating the monitoring process.
- Nietfeld Duoprob 60 sampler: A core component for fast and accurate drilling and sampling.
- All-Terrain Mobility and High Speed
The ROSA MM uses an all-terrain platform, ensuring operation in harsh weather and field conditions, including snow-covered fields. With travel speeds of up to 40 km/h, field monitoring becomes significantly faster and more efficient. - Accurate Geolocation and Reduced Human Error
Each sample is automatically logged with timestamp and GPS coordinates, stored in the onboard PN-2 computer database. This eliminates human error and enables the creation or updating of high-precision electronic field maps. - Variable Rate Fertilizer Application Support
- Field Map Creation and Updates
As it operates, the machine can generate new electronic field maps or update existing ones. These maps provide soil condition data that help agronomists make informed decisions about field treatments and planning. - Operator Comfort
The machine can be equipped with cabins and additional seats for operator and agronomist comfort. Even at high speeds, the driver can easily control the unit using the PN-2 navigation system.
Operation and System Components
The ROSA MM system includes three main components:
- ROSA All-Terrain Vehicle: Ensures maneuverability and accessibility in all field conditions, including snowy or winter crop-covered areas.
- Nietfeld Duoprob 60 Sampler: Delivers fast and precise soil drilling and sampling at the specified depth.
- PN-2 Onboard Computer: Controls sampling processes, monitoring, and map generation.
Advantages of the ROSA MM Monitoring Machine
- Accuracy and Efficiency: Fast sample collection with precise time and location data makes it ideal for large-scale agrochemical field surveys.
- All-Season Operation: The ROSA ATV allows monitoring to continue regardless of weather conditions.
- Ease of Use: A well-designed control and navigation system minimizes operator workload and simplifies parallel driving.
The ROSA MM Monitoring Machine is an indispensable tool for effective agricultural land monitoring. With its ability to operate in all weather conditions, high-speed mobility, and precision soil sampling, it significantly reduces the time and effort required for agrochemical field surveys. Combined with its electronic mapping capabilities, the ROSA MM becomes a key element of precision farming, enabling farmers and agronomists to efficiently manage fertilizer application and field treatment strategies.
