NutriSens and N-WATCH nutrient monitoring

Smarter Nutrient Decisions with NutriSens

agCOMMANDER's NutriSens module combines field sensors, weather data, and practical agronomy workflows to help teams improve nutrient efficiency, reduce leaching risk, and make stronger fertilizer decisions.

Extrapolated Point Data to Other Fields

The NutriSens service was developed after more than 10 years of R&D across many crop types and is currently operating in over 300 large and small sites in Spain, Peru, Egypt and the USA. Seasonal NO3 savings of 20% to 40%, and up to 60% in some cases, have been achieved compared with traditional strategies.

NutriSens is delivered as AgTech-as-a-Service. Growers pay an annual subscription for information outcomes. Field monitoring points include weather stations, soil moisture probes, and patented NutriSens N & K probes that monitor fertilizer in the root zone and nutrient leaching below. In vineyards and orchards, the NutriSens PRO service also includes dendrometers for monitoring plant nutrient uptake.

Data from 24/7 monitoring points, sample points, remote sources and AI is transformed into practical insights used by trained agronomy consultants. The result is better decision-making, stronger compliance, and improved sustainability.

In irrigated crops, NutriSens helps remove guesswork for repeatable irrigation and fertigation. In rain-fed systems, accurate measurement of leached nitrogen and root-zone potassium helps sharpen fertilizer application strategies.

What makes NutriSens unique?

  • Detects daily variations in concentration in roots and the drainage zone.
  • Generates early alerts so technicians can adjust fertigation and fertilization plans sooner.
  • Confirms alerts using suction probes, humidity, tensiometers, leaf area, sap analysis, and remote sensing with the Smart Method.
  • Detects plant stress through nitrate/potassium balance changes.
  • Integrates climate prediction, fertigation models, and modular, accessible deployment options.

Scientific validation

NutriSens is endorsed by the Public University of Navarra (UPNA), Pamplona, Spain, and also in the study "Evaluation of Nitrate Soil Probes for a More Sustainable Agriculture" (2022) by Miguel Campo, Amelia Bellosta-Diest et.al.

It is also recognized by the EU in the EIP-AGRI group for "Digital tools for sustainable nutrient management" (2022).

Field results

  • Up to 70% reduction in nitrate leachate.
  • Up to 50% lower nitrogen usage without production loss.
  • Reduction of diseases such as Fusarium, validated with metagenomics.
  • Compatible with biochar, circular economy models, and carbon-credit programs.
  • Already used successfully in Spain, Portugal, Peru, Costa Rica, Egypt, California and Ecuador.

NutriSens does not just help with compliance. It promotes more efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable fertilization.
