🧪Crop Nutrient Map List & Explanations

* Based on corn crops

** Nutrient maps are also available for other crops such as soybean, wheat, grain sorghum, pea, alfalfa, and ryegrass.

***They are also available for fruit crops such as citrus (including mandarin and orange), cherry, peach, plum, grape, olive, garlic, and tomato.
These maps are based on images of 3x3m pixel resolution.

📌 Crops like corn are commonly divided into distinct phenological (growth) stages, such as vegetative and reproductive stages. This division allows for more accurate nutrient mapping and diagnosis, because the plant’s needs and nutrient uptake vary significantly between stages.

For example:

  • Vegetative stage (V-stages): Focuses on root and leaf development — nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus are crucial.

  • Reproductive stage (R-stages): Focuses on flowering, pollination, and grain filling — nutrients like boron, potassium, and calcium become more critical.

🧠 Using phenological stages for mapping ensures that recommendations are timely and relevant, improving both yield and efficiency.

Boron (B)

Essential for cell wall formation and reproductive development. Deficiency can lead to poor pollination and reduced yield.

Calcium (Ca)

Vital for root and cell development. It improves soil structure and helps strengthen plant tissues.

Copper (Cu)

Important for photosynthesis and respiration. Low levels can cause chlorosis and weak stems.

Iron (Fe)

Supports chlorophyll production and enzyme functions. Deficiency leads to yellowing between leaf veins.

Potassium (K)

Enhances water regulation and disease resistance. Key for overall plant strength and stress tolerance.

Magnesium (Mg)

Central component of chlorophyll. Involved in energy transfer and photosynthesis.

Manganese (Mn)

Crucial for enzyme systems and photosynthesis. Deficiency often shows as interveinal chlorosis.Crucial for enzyme systems and photosynthesis. Deficiency often shows as interveinal chlorosis.

Nitrogen (N)

Drives vegetative growth and is a core component of proteins and chlorophyll. One of the most responsive nutrients in crops.s.

Phosphorus (P)

Essential for energy transfer and root development. Often associated with strong early plant growth.

Sulfur (S)

Contributes to amino acid and protein synthesis. Aids in chlorophyll formation and nitrogen use efficiency.

Zinc (Zn)

Key for hormone production and internode elongation. Deficiency often leads to stunted growth.

✅ Why It Matters

Understanding the spatial distribution of nutrients allows for targeted fertilization, cost savings, and sustainable soil management. Our high-resolution maps give you the clarity you need to make smarter agronomic decisions.

📌”Our team is currently developing the capability to include three additional nutrients in our crop maps, such as silicon (Si), molybdenum (Mo), and fluorine (F).”
