Profitable and confident Nitrogen management

N-Time delivers image-based nitrogen management insights that tell you when and how much N to apply to meet your crop's demand - if an application is needed. N-Time handles image acquisition, analysis, and insights delivery for you – what’s left to you is making the most informed decision possible.

N-Time is available through your web browser on desktop and mobile devices.

Anchor 1

N-Time provides the information you need to make optimal Nitrogen management decisions.

Imagery

N-Time ingests satellite imagery that is extremely sensitive to crop nitrogen status and captured on a near-daily basis.

Insights

N-Time automatically analyzes every image to:

Isolate N response
Quantify crop N demand
Forecast crop N demand

Recommendations

N-Time provides you with actionable information like:

N demand warnings
Application rates
Variable rate prescriptions

Field Dashboard

Performance

N-Time has improved profit by $24/ac and NUE by 30% in on-farm trials.

Case studies

Farmers have used N-Time to optimize applications, monitor biological product performance, mitigate the impacts of extreme weather, and improve operational efficiency.

The story behind N-Time

N-Time was developed through on-farm research trials conducted with farmer trial partners through the University of Nebraska–Lincoln. That's why it's built for your operation.

Using N-Time is easy. Just three steps will get you started.

Enroll - Identify and enroll the fields you want N-Time insights for by defining a boundary.
Establish - During a pre-emergence or early post-emergence fertilizer application, establish 2 plots - one with a higher N rate and one with a lower N rate.
Confirm - Confirm the application has been made by logging the application or transferring the as-applied data for the application to N-Time.

That's it - now you're receiving insights from N-Time.

Pricing

Choose the N-Time tier with features that suit your operation's needs.

Sentinel offers two tiers of solutions to meet your needs - N-Time and N-Time Advanced. Specific features are defined in the table below. Both N-Time and N-Time Advanced provide software access for 12 months with purchase. N-Time provides 6 months of image-based insights that may be activated at any time while N-Time Advanced provides image-based insights for all 12 months.

Feature	N-Time	N-Time Advanced
Management zones	X	X

No two fields are the same - that's why we let you pick your tier by field.

N-Time is best if you need:

Near-daily field imagery
Timing recommendations
Flat-rate recommendations
Management for uniform fields

N-Time Advanced is best if you need:

Image-based variable rate prescriptions.
Management for variable fields
Insights for multiple crop cycles on the same field in a single 12-month period.
Extended N forecasts.

N-Time provides insights for multiple crops across geographies.

What could N-Time do for you?

The following chart shows your anticipated per-acre profit increase for using N-Time based on your current yield and nitrogen use efficiency (NUE). To use the chart, first calculate your NUE (divide your typical nitrogen applied by your typical yield). Once you have that value, find the column header with the closest value to your NUE then follow that column down until it intersects the row corresponding to the yield that is closest to your typical yield. The value in this cell is the anticipated additional profit
resulting from using N-Time.

Profit changes shown are based on a 30% average NUE improvement in irrigated corn on-farm trials assuming equivalent yield and a $0.50/lb Nitrogen price.
