Making sense of soil.

On-the-go soil nitrate sensing and machine learning that turn field variability into variable-rate nitrogen prescriptions; acre by acre, in real time.

What we do

Precision Soil Science

Three connected programs, one system: measure the soil, understand what it needs, then put the right product in the right place.

Biochar applied to an agronomy research field

Biochar Systems

N-Sense pioneers biochar prescriptions; tailored to each field to address specific soil problems: degraded, eroded and low-organic-matter soils; sandy soils; low nutrient and water use efficiency; root-restricting layers; acidity; and poor internal drainage.

Improve soil quality, sequester carbon, & increase productivity.

Nutrient Management

N-Sense’s proprietary algorithms convert any measured soil property data into actionable prescriptions - advanced recommendations for N, K, P, Lime and Zinc. In modern, technology-driven farming, our software lets a farmer be both fiscally and environmentally conscious.

Sidedress Nitrogen

Industry-standard MRTN lacks precision. N-Sense has developed a proprietary algorithm for precision sidedress nitrogen that accounts for both yield history and weather risk management - for farmers striving to maximize nitrogen-use-efficiency and profitability in corn production.

About us

Soil and landscape analytics, joined to a sensor.

Background

With many years of soils and agronomy experience, our goal is to integrate soil and landscape analytics with soil nitrate sensing technology so farmers can precision-manage nitrogen fertilizer within fields. That increases yields and farm profitability, and decreases the environmental impact of nitrogen fertilizer.

How it works

We use data analytics to generate high-resolution landscape maps of soils and elevation, predicted corn yields, estimated land value and overall farmland evaluation.

We are also developing sensing technology that uses, for the first time, a diamond coupled with a miniaturized and robust Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer to measure soil nitrate in field-moist soil - in about one second.

Our vision

We use landscape data for farmland evaluation, generating maps of soils and elevation, predicted corn yields and estimated land values, and we are developing a soil nitrate sensor that can write high-resolution prescriptions for precision nitrogen application.

Customers get high-resolution data and interpretive maps of their farm fields.
