LEVELS OF ZONE MANAGEMENT

Not all management zones are created equal. Our team of highly trained mapping center specialists will work with your agronomist to analyze map layers for consistency and develop the most detailed zones available in the industry today—all to provide a best-fit solution for your crop production needs. At Agtegra, we do more than just generate a computer model—we combine precision zones with your local agronomics and put it to work to meet your goals.

THE MZB® DIFFERENCE: IT’S IN THE LAYERS OF DATA

The basics behind MZB is using data to maximize input investments in the right zones. The intricacy behind the multi-layer MZB maps includes collection of soil electrical conductivity (EC), RTK-measured elevation, GNDVI crop vigor measurements and other parameters.

6-8 management zones.
Created with electrical conductivity, RTK Elevation, and yield potential layers.
Soil-sampled by zone to benchmark optimal nutrient efficiencies for developing fertilizer and seed population recommendations.

Up to 5 management zones.
Created with elevation and yield potential layers.
Soil-sampled by zone to benchmark optimal nutrient efficiencies for developing fertilizer and seed population recommendations.

NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT OPTIONS

Managing nutrient variability through different zones within a field, based on yield goals, has been shown to have tremendous advantages over managing nutrient applications on a whole-field scale. Utilizing the MZB system allows you and your agronomist to custom-tailor a precision management plan based on data-driven knowledge and on-farm expertise. Through zone management you are able to unlock your field’s full yield potential.

VARIABLE RATE, MULTI-SPLIT APPLICATION

Variable rate split application prescriptions allow you to fully maximize your yield potential
By only applying a portion of nutrients up front you are able to fine-tune in-season applications by adjusting to the current environmental condition
Using multiple, fine-tuned applications allows for higher nutrient efficiency while minimizing losses from leaching, immobilization and other weather events

SINGLE-PASS, MULTI-PRODUCT VARIABLE RATE APPLICATION

Single pass applications built to your zones provide a precise, multi- nutrient strategy designed to cover the season-long demands that your crops will require
By only applying a portion of nutrients up front you are able to fine-tune in-season applications by adjusting to the current environmental conditions
Using multiple, fine-tuned applications allows for higher nutrient efficiency while minimizing losses from leaching, immobilization and other weather events

SINGLE-PASS, SINGLE-PRODUCT VARIABLE RATE APPLICATION

Individual nutrient application with rates customized to fit zones, weather and agronomic conditions —fully optimizing fertilizer efficiency

IN-SEASON MANAGEMENT OPTIONS

Tissue sampling provides the actual physical analysis of a plant’s nutritional and health status
Strategically pinpoint deficiencies before they may become visible and before top-end yield potential is affected
Tissue sampling not only can tell you where your crops stand nutritionally but it can also help you tweak your management strategy, leading to greater yield potential
Easily identify high vegetative regions to drive fungicide and/or nutrient applications
Determine plant stand and other field variables
Remotely identify weed, insect, and disease pressure

MZB ANALYTICS - PROVING WHAT PAYS.

MZB Analytics packages your agronomics and economics in easy-to-read reports and dashboards. These visibility tools allow customers to easily identify any nutrition, seed, and crop protection issues as well as give an indication of where corrective action needs to take place.

MZB Analytics can also determine a Yield Efficiency Score. The Yield Efficiency Score will benchmark your field and indicate how each field compares to others in the MZB Analytics system.

Your personal MZB Analytics advisor will assist you in the setup, collection and entry of all field related activities and expenses on an acre-by-acre, field-by-field basis. With access to automated product trials, you have the opportunity to learn from valuable data that is currently being collected and often overlooked in your operation today.

Let MZB Analytics unlock your farms true potential today!

DATA OWNERSHIP

MZB Analytics uses your data to generate agronomic and economic calculations. We pride ourselves in protecting this valuable information with a data ownership agreement which explains how your data is utilized, complete with an opt out for the data owner to access their contributed information.

INTEGRATED AGRONOMICS AND ECONOMICS

Uncovering your break-even cost per bushel at the management zone level allows you and your Agtegra Agronomist to optimize field and farm input decisions, leading to increased sustainability and ultimately profitability.

Yield efficiency dashboards report profit margins on all applied products on your operation, including hybrid or variety, crop nutrition products, crop protection, planting dates and much more.

AUTOMATED TRIALS

Use low risk, randomized and replicated trials executed at normal operating speeds to prove the optimal hybrid, rate, or product with a statistical confidence score.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Within your Yield Efficiency dashboard you can benchmark your farm against your fields as well as others in the MZB Analytics system anonymously. You can quickly see where each field ranks financially across your operation. Our team can help you narrow down the hundreds of agronomic factors to see how you stack up, understand where you fall short and ultimately help you make confident decisions to improve.
