Prescriptive Software Possibilities for Forest Management
Western Ag Innovations is striving to develop prescriptive software similar to PRS™ Nutrient Forecaster to be used in reforestation and forest management. As such, we are gathering forestry-related data to be used in aggregate to develop prescriptive management tools for forestry. Find out more about the future possibility of sublicensing our PRS™ technology and prescriptive software.
The PRS™ Nutrient Forecaster
Western Ag Innovations, teamed with its sublicensee, Western Ag Labs has helped farmers across Western Canada reach optimal economic yields, despite increasing input costs. Through our PRS™ technology, we collect soil nutrient data and then simulate environment parameters to develop crop nutrition plans for a variety of agronomic crops. Similar technology can be applied to forest management and agroforestry.
On October 28, 2004 in Waterloo, ON, the University of Saskatchewan and Western Ag Innovations Inc. were awarded with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC)'s Synergy Award for developing and commercializing a new way of measuring the soil nutrients crops need.
