HarvestLab 3000
Sold commercially
Near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to analyze various constituents within harvested crops, silage or slurry (one sensor, three applications)
Enables automated length of cut adjustment based on dry matter content (crop harvesting)
ullalysis of constituents not only during filling but also during application (slurry)
Use as laboratory unit at a storage facility or office allowing accurate feed rationing and livestock health.
