Quotes
“ "Agrology's Nitrous Flux Sensor is a paradigm shift in sustainable agriculture as it provides any grower with an affordable, accurate, and continuous tool to measure, reduce, and monitor nitrous oxide emissions, and thus enables GHG reductions and innovations at the source while replacing static factors and rigid, non-conforming models." ”
Dr. Michael Schuppenhauer, Principal Investigator at Lawrence Berkeley National Lab
Our Take:
Agrology's launch of the Nitrous Flux Sensor marks a breakthrough in climate-smart agriculture, addressing a long-standing challenge in GHG quantification. With its real-time accuracy and affordability, this sensor enables farmers to make data-driven decisions in nitrogen application, which can dramatically reduce nitrous oxide emissions—a significant greenhouse gas in agriculture. Beyond environmental benefits, the technology offers actionable insights that can lead to operational savings and enhanced crop yield, while supporting sustainability incentives. This innovation, especially as it integrates with Agrology’s existing Arbiter system, is poised to reshape sustainable practices across the agricultural sector.
