NuTRAC analyzes the dynamic relationship among soil health, crop performance, and harvest yield to deliver data-driven nutrient recommendations. It offers a practical pathway for growers to understand how soil properties influence plant uptake and nutrient removal—and how these relationships evolve over time. By tracking changes in essential nutrient concentrations, NuTRAC enables proactive adjustments to recommendations. Understanding the soil–plant–grain nutrient relationship is the foundation for providing smarter, more precise guidance, which translates into improved profitability while advancing environmental stewardship.
ORIGINATOR
Dr. Howard Brown originated the concept of tracking plant-available N while working with GROWMARK, Inc., and has continued his work after retirement to modify and improve nitrogen tracking as a new tool to improve nutrient stewardship. "It is about focusing on what is important. It is about focusing on M.O.M.: Minimize environmental impact by Optimizing farm profitability and Maximizing nutrient utilization. To make sustainable improvements in nutrient management, we must also improve farm profitability. NuTRAC is designed to do both. It is truly all about M.O.M."
