N-Sense: Making sense of soil nitrogen sensing & farmland evaluation
Development of soil nitrate sensor system for on-the-go variable rate nitrogen management
About Us
Background
How does it work
Background
With many years of soils & agronomy experience, our ultimate goal is to integrate soil & landscape analytics with soil Nitrate sensing technology to enable farmers to precision manage Nitrogen fertilizer within fields. This will increase yields & farm profitability & decrease the environmental impact of Nitrogen fertilizer.
We use data analytics to generate high-resolution landscape maps of soils & elevation, predicted corn yields, estimated land value, and overall farmland evaluation.
Our vision
How does it work
Background
We use landscape data for farmland evaluation and generate maps of soils & elevation, maps of predicted corn yields, & estimated land values. We are developing a soil nitrate sensor that can be used to generate high-resolution prescriptions to facilitate precision application of nitrogen fertilizers.

How does it work
We analyze soils and landscapes and provide our customers with high-resolution data & interpretive maps of their farm fields, including maps of soils & elevation, predicted corn yields, & farmland evaluation.
We are developing innovative sensing technology that uses, for the first time, a diamond coupled with a miniaturized and robust Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer to measure soil nitrate concentrations in field moist soil. The sensor can measure soil nitrate in about one second.
