As a global leader in nitrogen (N) fertiliser production, Yara's key ambition in the next decade is to build a nature-positive food future. Yara Research and Development created Atfarm in 2018 to help farmers reach these goals.
In today's world when nitrogen fertiliser prices are volatile and their usage is regulated more every year, tools like Atfarm bring the power of technology to your fields using the computer and smartphone you already have.
Start by knowing how much fertiliser you'll need for the entire season. Atfarm's free Nutrition Planner goes beyond traditional methods in 3 important ways:

The Atfarm algorithm estimates N-uptake based on the colour of your crop compared to a database of 100,000s images
Base your nitrogen applications on accurate biomass maps to set your crops up for success. Make the most of every kg of N applied by responding to the heterogeneity of your fields.
The Benefits of Variable N-Rate Application
Know the real N-uptake of your crops to improve your nitrogen management. N-Tester BT nitrogen rate recommendations are designed to help you fine tune your nitrogen fertiliastion throughout the growing season and maximise your yield return from every kg of nitrogen you apply.
Identify anomalies before they impact your yield without visiting the field.
Create a free Atfarm account and then get started with the N-tester BT, variable-rate fertilisation and remote crop monitoring.
“Atfarm is very simple to use, taking just 10 mins to load all my field boundaries over the 2200 hectares of farming. I like to use satellite imagery to scout for any management issues. The maps are a very visual way of picking out differences in growth and development to help prioritise decisions. There are plenty of products being developed for farmers, but some do not deliver and I wouldn’t recommend, however I would recommend farmers to try Atfarm.”
"I decided to put my faith in N-Tester and only overruled it on a very few occasions, and I have to say it has done everything it promised it would. It hasn’t stolen any yield, and when I had the grain tested, I was pleased with the results. It got it bang on!"
"Better yielding, more even crops, more efficient use of nitrogen, especially when using a lot of manures, less lodging – not to mention removing the human emotion element of choosing a rate to apply."
"Nitrogen Use Efficiency is one of the most significant challenges mankind faces if we are to reduce carbon and nutrient emissions, yet feed a growing global population. The Yara N-Tester is a valuable and practical tool for farmers to use, backed by decades of research results, to improve efficiency.”
Let Atfarm help you optimise your nitrogen fertilisation, increase yields and save costs.
