Grain Sensing
HarvestLab: Your New Super Power
John Deere HarvestLab™ grain sensing provides real-time data on crop quality while you’re harvesting*. It complements yield maps, giving you insights for better nutrient management, choice of seed varieties and the marketing and storage of crops.
See how it works
Mounted on the combine’s grain elevator, John Deere HarvestLab™ uses Near InfraRed (NIR) spectroscopy to identify the constituents in the grain.
Manage Your Nutrients Better
Gain a clearer understanding of which nutrients, such as nitrogen, have been successfully converted into protein or oil. Then use this data to make better targeted fertiliser applications for the next season.
Optimise Your Seed Varieties
Wheat or rapeseed varieties can promise a lot on paper, but when you grow them the results may not always live up to expectations. HarvestLab helps you better understand site-specific factors to find the optimum variety.
Control Your Crop Sales
Know if your wheat is bread or feed quality as you harvest. Separate different loads according to protein content and store them separately for the best grain price.
