Advanced NIR Analyzer Boosts Crop Management Efficiency
CropScanAg was honored with the ‘Innovation in Agronomics Award’ for its advanced Near Infrared analyzer. This device, attached to a combine harvester, measures protein, moisture, and oil in grains and oilseeds right as they are harvested. The award was presented in July 2024.
Their Near Infrared (NIR) analyzer, adeptly mounted on combine harvesters, allows for the real-time measurement of protein, moisture, and oil levels in grains and oilseeds during the harvest.
This technology not only leads the market in on-combine NIR analysis but also sets the global standard for in-field crop analytics.
Dean Scrivens, a Technical Specialist for CropScanAg in Canada, proudly accepted the award, highlighting the profound impact of their technology on modern farming practices.
He emphasized that the CropScan system offers a critical advantage by allowing farmers to manage varying protein levels across their fields. This is essential for adjusting nitrogen applications to enhance yield and quality precisely where it is needed.
The system's ability to reduce nitrogen waste represents a dual boon—cutting costs for farmers and mitigating environmental impacts associated with excessive fertilizer use.
By providing immediate data directly from the field, CropScanAg facilitates more informed decision-making that leads to consistent crop improvement and sustainable farming operations.
CropScanAg's N-GAUGE App revolutionizes how data is used in agriculture. This app simplifies the collection and analysis of field data, helping generate variable rate nitrogen fertilization prescriptions quickly and efficiently.
Prescription maps can be directly downloaded to variable rate fertilization (VRF) equipment, drastically reducing the time between analysis and application.
With this award, CropScanAg receives not only recognition but also significant promotional opportunities.
They are slated to receive an estimated $10,000.00 in free advertising across various media platforms, which will undoubtedly enhance their visibility in the agricultural sector.
CropScanAg's achievements are reshaping how farmers across Canada and beyond approach crop management, proving that innovative technology is key to the future of sustainable and efficient agriculture.
Their continued success exemplifies the potential of specialized tools to transform industry practices for the better.
