Price: Free
The Mosaic Company recently launched the Nutrient Removal App, which is intended to make nutrient removal data available in the office, field or tractor. According to the company, growers can use the app in cooperation with their local agronomist to plan for next year’s planting season and crop nutrient programs.
Utilizing years of agronomic research, the nutrient removal data seen in the “Balanced Crop Nutrition” guide provides growers and retailers with a valuable reference tool in support of higher yields, the company says. The app allows users to customize their nutrient removal data to generate crop- and region-specific results.
Randy Groff, Marketing Manager for The Mosaic Company, sees the app as a valuable smartphone innovation. “This data is the foundation and starting point for fertilizer recommendations,” says Groff. “It’s used all the time by growers and retailers, in flip charts, wall posters, and wallet cards. With the best data and the newest technology, farmers and retailers now have the best of both worlds.”
Once it’s downloaded, the Nutrient Removal App can be used without Internet service, and contains customizable data for 36 different crops. After the crop and desired yield are selected, results can be stored as part of an individual profile, and/or emailed to other contacts.
