“Through our joint efforts, BASF and Nutrien Ag Solutions can help change the industry by providing growers with the products, services and now digital tools to support their success,” said Paul Rea, Senior Vice President, BASF Agricultural Solutions North America. “We are proud to have the robust technology of the xarvio SCOUTING app featured on the Nutrien Ag Solutions Customer Portal. In addition, we are exploring further collaboration opportunities with Nutrien, including the xarvio FIELD MANAGER which offers field- and even field-zone-specific independent agronomic advice to optimize crop production.”

xarvio SCOUTING is designed to allow end-users to detect in-field stress with the click of a photo, and is capable of determining weed presence, recognizing diseases, and quantifying leaf damage. The app is powered by AI algorithms that are designed to improve precision and functionality through machine learning and data sharing.
