AIP

As the research division of Advanced Agrilytics, Ag Ingenuity Partners (AIP)  was founded out of the necessity to create research that answers the “why” and the “how” of spatial agricultural research, delivering performance insights on the interaction between seed, chemical, equipment, and management practices by environment.

 

Comprehensive Product Evaluation

We combine crop development, soil attributes and agronomic practices to evaluate the impact of the interaction of these factors, along with product performance. We have created exclusive models that allow us to improve our understanding of a product and its response.

 

Extensive Data Reporting

We deliver more by connecting crop management to the yield generation process across landscapes. By understanding a product’s performance in isolated spatial reference points, we’re able to provide recommendations to extend effectiveness and create value, regardless of the sector of agriculture.

CORE COMPETENCIES

We isolate the mechanisms that ultimately impact results to provide clarity on a product’s performance:

TEST IN THE RIGHT ENVIRONMENT:
Understanding the environment is fundamental to everything we do; understanding the sub-field environment led us to create unique proprietary data layers to enable us to tailor the testing network to our customers’ needs.

ISOLATE THE PLANT RESPONSE:
Our deep understanding of the spatial variation – the varying environments within a field – allows us to predict at-risk areas where plants may encounter challenges during the season. We can isolate those spatial reference points in the field and place trials based on research hypotheses, to isolate mechanisms and identify influence on the plant performance. Examining plant response moves us beyond looking at average performance as we would in a traditional field — these results allow us to truly describe the environment where a product will have the highest probability of success.
RESULTS THAT SCALE WITH CUSTOMERS:
Our ability to describe environments that influence a specific product’s performance leads to our ability to create management layers that scale. We provide our clients recommendations, specific to their customers’ fields, that maximize the performance of their products.

CASE STUDIES

TRIAL LOCATIONS

AIP conducts its main controlled-environment small-plot research testing at the Advanced Agrilytics Research Facility in Huntington, Indiana. Here, researchers work on individual small plots where they can recreate sub-field environments occurring in real-world production acres through subsurface irrigation-based treatments. The size of these plots enables them to diagnose issues that arise within a 5-foot zone – sometimes smaller – and isolate for further analysis.

Using proprietary data layers to isolate the mechanisms influencing product response by sub-field environment, researchers monitor crop inputs and outputs through plant uptake and tile loss to quantify product impact on nutrient use efficiency and water quality across environments. This leads to an increased probability of success in product management and placement in the fields of farmers who later buy these products, since AIP researchers can gain a detailed understanding of how a crop responds across differing induced environments that translate over to real production acres.
