FluroSat, Iowa State Form Research Collaboration to Test Integrated Nitrogen Management Tool

By FluroSat

Iowa State University (ISU), a U.S. leader in agricultural modelling, and FluroSat, a world leader in agronomic decision support and remote field sensing, have announced their collaboration through a research project to advance predictability of N management.

The collaboration is structured around the APSIM model as both FluroSat and ISU are using this crop simulation framework. ISU as a member of the APSIM Initiative, brings expertise on cropping systems modeling and experience on modeling nitrogen in US environments. FluroSat brings advanced remote sensing capabilities and analytics at the sub-field level. With ISU’s knowledge and resources, the goal is to advance the science of informing in-season Nitrogen management decisions

This application, available only through the FluroSense cloud platform, will bring together ISU’s new advances in modeling soil water availability in the U.S. Corn Belt and FluroSat’s unique implementation of the APSIM crop modelling simulator. This integrated approach will eliminate the cumbersome and costly steps of in-field sampling and data entry, enabling daily, one-touch nitrogen prescriptions to ensure maximum accuracy and yield in crop management.
