The Intelligence That Powers Predictive Agronomy

Agrilytics IQ is the proprietary agronomic intelligence that powers every Advanced Agrilytics model, recommendation, and insight. Built to make farm data work harder, it unifies a variety of first, second and third-party data into a single spatial model that reveals how water, nutrients, landscape, and weather interact. The result is clear, actionable insight that connects environment, mechanism, and yield—forming the foundation of predictive agronomy.

Going beyond descriptive analytics to deliver causal intelligence, Agrilytics IQ identifies not just what happened, but why. It explains the underlying mechanisms that drive results, enabling predictive, environment-specific recommendations that improve consistency, sustainability, and profitability.

Traditional agronomy methodology focuses on averages and zones. Agrilytics IQ focuses on causes and environments, providing a scientific, repeatable way to improve performance year after year.

The Core Components

Predictive Algorithms

Proprietary algorithms forecast crop performance and environmental outcomes based on more than a decade of research and spatial data. These models simulate real-world conditions to predict how different management choices perform across varying environments.

Patented Spatial Models

Our patented spatial modeling technology translates data points into environmental zones, producing sub-acre insights that are impossible to see with traditional agronomy. These models analyze how water moves, how nutrients behave, and how soil characteristics interact to influence yield.

Continuous Learning System

Agrilytics IQ isn’t theoretical—it’s built and refined through on-farm validation. In recent years, Agrilytics IQ has been informed by the analysis of more than 322 million sub-acre grids—data that continues to grow each season. With each new season and dataset, it evolves alongside the environment.

Built on Proprietary Science

At the heart of Agrilytics IQ are patented and proprietary innovations that capture, model, and predict field behavior with unmatched precision:

Potential Productivity Layer

A proprietary algorithm that defines the natural yield potential of each environment by integrating soil, water, and topographic data. It establishes a realistic performance ceiling and identifies opportunities to close the gap between current and potential yield.

Nitrogen Loss Potential 

A patented model that predicts nitrogen movement and volatility within each environment. It pinpoints where nitrogen loss risk is highest, helping growers protect inputs and optimize timing for maximum nutrient efficiency.

Spatial Critical Level 

A patented approach that maps nutrient thresholds across the field to show where soil fertility meets, exceeds, or falls short of critical levels. This enables precise, site-specific fertility management and reduces waste.

Seed Placement Intelligence 

Our patented Varietal Placement Index (VPI) and Hybrid Placement Index (HPI) models connect seed genetics to the environment. By combining spatial layers, such as SWI, elevation, and productivity potential, with seed performance data, these indices predict where each product will perform best.

Assessing Environments, Acre-by-Acre

Protected Innovation, Proven Science
