DuPont Pioneer is unveiling a new self-service option to help growers manage nitrogen on their farms. The Pro level of Encirca℠ Nitrogen service provides a field-by-field, real-time look at an operation’s nitrogen levels using a smartphone.
Growers can preview the Pro level of service, driven by an all new, mobile nitrogen app, at Pioneer’s tent (#634) during the Farm Progress Show, Aug. 30-Sept. 1, in Boone, Iowa. Growers also can learn about new data transfer tools, such as Sync Mobile from Encirca℠ Sync service.
“We recognize that every field is different, every operation is different and every grower is different,” said Eric Boeck, DuPont Pioneer marketing director, Encirca℠ services. “Some prefer to have an advisor to talk things over with and some prefer the self-serve model. We are listening to our customers and catering to their varying needs with the addition of our new Pro level of Encirca℠ services.”
The Pro level service is fueled by Encirca℠ services’ latest technology and analytics, soil science, agronomy expertise and local weather. It empowers growers to independently monitor nitrogen levels and simulate different nitrogen plans and field details, as well as to understand the impact changes will have on crop growth and the probability of achieving desired outcomes. The service includes the ability to set automated alerts for changing field conditions.
The Pro level service is delivered through the new Encirca℠ Nitrogen app, which will be available for download from the App store by mid-September. Growers are encouraged to try the Pro level service for free through Oct. 31, 2016.
“Customers who prefer more hands-on support may still use an Encirca℠ certified services agent through the Premium level of Encirca℠ Nitrogen service,” said Boeck. “And as important as nitrogen is to increasing yields, data is what drives those decisions. DuPont Pioneer is striving to make individual operation data accessible and actionable for all growers regardless of management style.”
This latest addition to the Encirca℠ services line-up joins new data transfer tools, such as Sync Mobile, and collaboration with manufacturers, such as John Deere through the Connected Growers program to encourage use of in-cab equipment.
With a simple adaptor that plugs into field equipment and a complementary app, Encirca℠ Sync Mobile streamlines the process for capturing and transferring data using a phone or mobile device, instead of data cards or storage devices.
“Using Sync Mobile, growers can save time and receive revisions to their prescriptions from Encirca℠ certified services agents remotely and immediately,” said Harley Janssen, DuPont Pioneer service manager, Field Technology. “Growers can also upload yield data right from their combine and quickly receive variable prescriptions in their spreader for potassium, phosphorous and lime.”
