BASF's Xarvio SeedSelect revolutionizes soybean seed selection by combining algorithms with field research, optimizing yield-building characteristics for precise soybean seed placement

United States: BASF is unveiling Xarvio SeedSelect, a cutting-edge technology designed to revolutionize soybean seed placement. This innovative system relies on a sophisticated algorithm derived from extensive plot trial field research, meticulous examination of local topographic and soil attributes, and a deep understanding of variety-specific yield-building characteristics. By utilizing advanced data and analysis methods, xarvio SeedSelect assesses soybean varieties based on their unique yield-building capabilities, offering a comprehensive understanding of the field characteristics essential for optimal growth. The result is a meticulous matching process that aligns soybean varieties with growers' fields based on specific characteristics, ensuring a tailored and optimized approach to agriculture. Recognizing that soybean success hinges on more than just weather conditions, xarvio SeedSelect empowers retail seed professionals to confidently recommend the most suitable seed for every acre. The algorithm considers influential topographic and soil attributes, factoring in their impact on soybean growth and development. When customer field data is integrated with insights into individual variety yield-building characteristics, the algorithm makes precise recommendations for the best Xitavo soybean seed varieties tailored to the specific characteristics of each field. This data-driven approach significantly enhances the likelihood of successful product placement and overall performance.

Xarvio SeedSelect is seamlessly integrated into xarvio Field Manager, an advanced crop optimization platform designed to empower agricultural retailers in delivering unparalleled service and value to customers. This comprehensive platform offers timely, field-specific agronomic recommendations, supporting retailers and growers throughout the entire agricultural season, from planning to harvest. The combined capabilities of xarvio SeedSelect and xarvio FIELD MANAGER go beyond seed selection, providing retailers with the tools to visualize crop and product performance across various indicators. From biomass maps and crop phenology staging to satellite imaging, these technologies enhance retailers' ability to make informed decisions, ultimately contributing to a more efficient, sustainable, and visually monitored agricultural landscape. BASF's commitment to innovation is evident in the seamless integration of technology, data analytics, and agricultural expertise, setting a new standard for precision agriculture in the soybean industry.

According to the BASF Agronomist, “We look at how a variety interacts with multiple attributes such as organic matter, cation exchange capacity (CEC), slope, and other factors that contribute to yield. This helps guide us in placement and management so we can make sure varieties are in fields where they belong and diminish the impact of unpredictable weather.”

According to the Digital Farming Manager for BASF, “With xarvio SeedSelect, retailers gain access to prescriptive variety selection and field placement, endeavoring to confidently improve grower’s yield potential from the very first year.”

According to TechSci Research, introduction of xarvio SeedSelect and FIELD MANAGER by BASF brings the advanced algorithms of xarvio SeedSelect to provide clients with highly precise and tailored recommendations for seed selection. This precision minimizes the risk of suboptimal choices, leading to improved crop yields and increased client satisfaction. Due to xarvio SeedSelect, FIELD MANAGER can offer enhanced services to their clients. The technology provides timely, field-specific agronomic recommendations to deliver unparalleled support throughout the entire agricultural season, from planning to harvest. It brings the ability to visualize crop and product performance across various indicators, in which the clients can optime the crop management strategies and leads to the emphasis on environmentally responsible solutions in the industry.
