Science, farming practice, press coverage, and the future of precision agriculture - written plainly for growers and agronomists.
Across 47 in-scope trials on real farms, Messium delivered an average gross margin benefit of £56.36/ha - with yield results independently validated by ADAS Agronomics. Here is the full breakdown.
In a more typical season, four leading New Zealand growers cut nitrogen by up to 32% while holding or improving yield - turning saved fertiliser straight into profit. Farm-by-farm results.
In New Zealand's fourth-hottest year on record, Messium still improved yield in three of four trials - a median +0.17 t/ha and +NZD$115/ha margin, independently validated by ADAS.
Eurofins took geo-referenced wheat samples; Messium predicted the nitrogen and biomass at those exact coordinates - blind. The verdict: 85%+ accuracy against lab tests, sent to farmers and 15+ corporate partners.
For 30 years, NDVI has been agriculture's go-to satellite metric. It measures greenness. But nitrogen is not greenness. Here's what that distinction costs farmers - and what hyperspectral imaging changes.
