AgriHand CropSense™
What Is CropSense™
Zone-Based Nitrogen Management Built on Crop Response
CropSense™ helps you apply nitrogen where it matters and reduce waste where it doesn’t.
By analyzing long-term satellite imagery and measuring how crops respond to nitrogen across different zones, CropSense™ provides practical, zone-level nitrogen recommendations you can trust.
The focus is simple:
Better nitrogen efficiency
More consistent yields
Lower unnecessary input use
What Is CropSense™?
CropSense™ is a nitrogen management tool designed for real-world farming.
It identifies stable productivity zones within each field using historical satellite imagery. Within those zones, CropSense™ evaluates crop response to nitrogen using small reference areas that act as biological indicators.
By comparing how crops perform with and without sufficient nitrogen in each zone, CropSense™determines where additional nitrogen will drive yield and where it won’t.
This approach helps producers and advisors move beyond guesswork and manage nitrogen based on how the crop actually responds.
Why Zone-Based Nitrogen Matters
Not every part of a field responds the same way to nitrogen.
Some areas convert nitrogen into yield efficiently. Others don’t.
CropSense™ helps you:
- Reduce over-application in low-response areas
- Protect yield potential in high-response zones
- Improve consistency across the field
- Increase nitrogen use efficiency (NUE)
- Make decisions that are easier to explain and defend
Better nitrogen decisions lead to better profit per acre and better long-term soil stewardship.
How CropSense™ Works
Step 1: Identify Stable Field Patterns
CropSense™ analyzes multiple years of satellite imagery to understand how each field behaves over time. This long-term view helps separate temporary effects from consistent productivity patterns.
Step 2: Create Management Zones
Fields are divided into zones that behave similarly year after year. Each zone becomes a management unit instead of treating the whole field the same.
Step 3: Measure Crop Response
Within each zone, small nitrogen-rich reference areas can be used to observe how crops respond when nitrogen is not limiting. The crop itself becomes the indicator.
Step 4: Generate Zone-Specific Recommendations
CropSense™ calculates nitrogen rates for each zone based on measured crop response and historical performance. Recommendations are delivered as clear maps and tables ready for variable-rate or manual application.
No additional hardware is required, and recommendations fit seamlessly into existing farm operations.
Built for Farmers and Agronomists
Grounded in Research Built for the Field
CropSense™ was designed to support decision-making, not complicate it.
It works alongside:
- Grower experience
- Agronomic judgment
- Co-op and advisor recommendations
Every output is transparent and easy to interpret. You can see where the numbers come from and adjust as needed based on local conditions.
WHAT IT IS NOT
What CropSense™ Is Not
Not a one-size-fits-all rate
Not a drone platform
Not a black-box algorithm
Not a replacement for agronomists
CropSense™ is a practical tool for making better nitrogen decisions with less risk.
