Measuring Early-Season Nitrogen

Measuring Early-Season Nitrogen

Digital technology is changing the face of agriculture, giving us more information at a faster pace and with greater precision than ever before. With advanced analytics and modeling, farmers use information to help them make more informed decisions. Increasing nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) has been, and continues to be, a high priority for many stakeholders. For farmers, any gain we can make in NUE provides environmental benefits as well as increased return on investment (ROI).

We can now use drones, models like the Phantom 4 or newer, to quickly and accurately assess the population of a field.

The process works by flying a drone at an altitude of 50 ft. […]
