Sentinel Fertigation: Grow your profits with more efficient fertigation
Nitrogen is essential to healthy crop growth and high yields. But applying the right amount of the often-expensive nutrient is difficult for even the most seasoned farmers. Inexact applications can lead to excess nitrogen use resulting in slimmer margins and potential environmental harm.
That’s why many producers have turned to fertigation. Fertigation, the injection of fertilizers into an irrigation system, gives producers more control over their fertilizer applications – delivering a strong return on investment.
SOME OF THE REASONS WHY FERTIGATION IS GROWING IN POPULARITY: ‣ It helps farmers save time and better utilize resources with efficient processes ‣ There is less soil compaction due to fewer field passes with your ground machinery ‣ It allows for more control over the timing of nutrient applications ‣ It allows nutrient applications throughout the growing season, including late-season applications
‣ Fertigation gives farmers the ability to constantly monitor, anticipate, and provide their crop’s nitrogen needs
And with skyrocketing nitrogen prices, applying the right amount of nitrogen pays dividends.
To help producers fertigate as efficiently as possible, Sentinel Fertigation developed its N-Time™ Fertigation Management System (FMS), a data-driven software program that utilizes satellite imagery to help farmers schedule fertigation applications. N-Time™ handles image acquisition, analytics, and recommendation delivery for you – what’s left to you is making the most informed decision possible.
After showing promising results during on-farm research trials conducted with the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, Sentinel’s N-Time™ FMS was made commercially available for the first time in the 2022 growing season. The software was implemented in a controlled release on 69 fields in Nebraska and northern Kansas.
Yield data from this year’s harvest has reaffirmed what research showed: N-Time™ has helped producers improve their efficiency by 25% and has saved them 43 lb-N/ac on average while improving profitability.
Sentinel is currently bolstering N-Time™’s compatibility with John Deere Operations Center, Case AFS Connect and irrigation system monitoring and control to improve the system’s usability for the 2023 growing season.
Don’t wait until the next growing season to reach out. Contact us today for a free N-Time™ demo.
