Baseline interpretation
Standard surface observations incorrectly suggested severe, widespread nitrogen deficits. On that reading the fertiliser budget would have gone straight to nitrogen.
The 5D correction
Validated against ground truth, our system corrected the deficit, proving a highly stable 1.11 g/kg nitrogen maintenance baseline.
The hidden threat
The engine accurately predicted a massive clay concentration of 41–45%, flagging severe aeration and compaction risks that the nitrogen reading never would have shown.
The fertiliser budget went to deep-ripping instead of nitrogen that was never missing.
The operational pivot
Wasted fertiliser capital was eliminated and resources were redirected to essential deep-ripping and soil aeration.
