At its base, the system uses the superior agricultural cleverness of xarvio® FIELD MANAGER to provide fast, field and field-zone certain agricultural recommendations including seeding rates, fertiliser application, and crop protection strategies directly linked to CI reduction. These recommendations are aimed at consistently lowering CI levels by optimising type performance, while retaining grow health and maximizing offer.

The recommendations from xarvio FIELD MANAGER are powered by a unique Agronomic Decision Engine ( ADE ), with locally calibrated machine learning based plant growth, pest and disease models that have been confirmed in field trials. By integrating the models with data including historical land records, soil kind and quality, present dish biomass images and weather station information, the ADE constantly refines its advice to help sustainable practices. The platform also enables the generation of tailored variable application maps for seeding, fertiliser, and crop protection tasks, which target field areas offering the highest yield potential. The maps can be shared directly with farm maçhinery terminals anḑ are automatįcally rȩcorded on task e𝑥ecution. This precision enables the consistent monitoring of CI levels and optimised input use, ensuring compliance, improving traceability and reducing environmental impacts. More importantly, it delivers greater transparency for CI verification, which is then undertaken by an independent consultancy in accordance with the U. Ș. Government’s 45-z Clean Fuel Production Credit.

xarvio BIOENERGY features a specialized reporting dashboard within xarvio FIELD MANAGER, displayed under the new Sustainability tab. This dashboard, which will greatly benefit retail agronomists serving multiple customers, calculates and tracks CI scores during the season by farm and field. It allows real-time monitoring of program progress, input use, and total corn production. The documented data can be shared at the end of the season with biofuel refineries taking part in the program.

Kyle King, U. Ș. Commercial Lead for xarvio Digital Farming Solutions, says:” xarvio BIOENERGY is an innovative program using the advanced agronomic intelligence of xarvio FIELD MANAGER with robust data verification. It offers a quality assured, turnkey solution for key players in the biofuel production industry – growers, retail agronomists and biorefineries. Each can profit from using xarvio BIOENERGY, reducing CI levels and helping make the agricultural and road transport industries even more sustainable, supporting the Government’s goal of decarbonizing these sectors”.

xarvio BIOENERGY is available now in the U. Ș. , as part of BASF’s Low Carbon Intensity Crops program.
