Episode 4: Practical Implementation Steps (part 2) - The Hidden Cost of Synthetic Nitrogen

from Grazing HORIZONs · host AgriProve

What if the biggest input saving on your property wasn't something you had to buy?Soil biology, when it's functioning well, fixes nitrogen on its own. No invoice. No delivery date. No application cost. The problem is that years of synthetic nitrogen inputs can suppress the very biology doing that work. And once it's suppressed, the cycle keeps going: your soil stops fixing, so you apply more, so it keeps suppressing.AgriProve's data suggests our best-performing projects have saved farmers close to $430 per hectare per year on reduced nitrogen inputs alone. And that's before counting the nitrogen their soil is now fixing on its own.In Session 4, Hobbs Magaret and AgriProve Chair Matthew Warnken are joined by special guest Cadel Watson, Head of Product at AgriProve, to walk through what the HORIZON platform is revealing about soil organic nitrogen and what it means for your bottom line.What this session will cover:What soil organic nitrogen data is showing across AgriProve's project portfolioHow suppressed soil biology is quietly compounding your input costsWhat the shift away from synthetic nitrogen looks like in practiceFirst look at the beta version of AgriProve's High resolution remote sensing model of soil organic nitrogen. Full slides available here: https://gamma.app/docs/Podinar-4-Inputs-gt6pldztdb9dv5bTo register your interest for early access to the Nitrogen Model tool: https://agriprove.io/nitrogen-model-enquiry
