Agmatix, a start-up ag tech business owned by ICL, Tel Aviv, has announced the launch of its Plant Nutrition Carbon Footprint Optimizer within its new data technology platform. It said the new feature now enables ag professionals and crop consultants to better understand the carbon footprint of their crop nutritional recommendations and farm-specific nutrition strategies.
The product allows users to run several parallel simulations that can compare nutritional recommendations in relation to yields and environmental impact via their carbon footprint. The company said the feature reduces waste and increases profitability by giving users the information they need to prevent excessive fertilization.
