Measure yield responses to trial treatments at the whole of paddock scale.
Laconik Combine®
A simple and easy way of conducting
paddock scale research.
Laconik Combine® is an enabling technology, a ‘swarm’ of trials are randomly
placed across whole paddocks.

Laconik provides a custom report showing where you are making money and losing money.
Optimum Rates
Use the results from Laconik Combine® trials to develop variable rate maps.
In-season Monitoring
Continuously monitor crop responses to trial treatments and collect data in real time.
NDVI Monitoring
By using NDVI we see how crops are responding to trial treatments.
On-farm Data insights
Use the results from Laconik Combine® trials to market your new product.
Trusted by industry leaders
Don't ignore spatial variability, embrace it.
Small plot field research has its place in product development. However, it
means products are not tested under real paddock conditions. Use Laconik
Combine® to start embracing spatial variability rather than ignoring it.

What is Laconik Combine® used for?
To measure spatial crop responses to cropping inputs - fertiliser, herbicides, fungicides, pesticides, seeding rates, biologicals etc.
What equipment do I need to use Laconik Combine®?
Growers needs variable rate capable machinery. Every modern farm machine comes equipped to use Laconik Combine®. To put a Laconik Combine® in a field we need a paddock boundary, A:B line (GPS co-ordinates) and a grain yield map after harvest. Laconik can be synced with John Deere Operations. If not on John Deere, send us a shapefile with the info we need and we can get to setup.
When is the best time to use Laconik Combine®?
Any time during the growing season. Measure spatial responses to compound fertilisers by putting trials out at seeding or conduct in-season N and fungicide trials.
What crops can Laconik Combine® be used with?
Broadacre crops - wheat, barley, canola, peas, beans, corn, soybeans plus many more.
