ClearAg will provide agribusinesses and producers with real-time, hyperlocal weather information and their land surface models to make predictive agronomic solutions.
The platform will help address complex challenges by streamlining field trial processes, optimising in-filed activities and the value of digital farming applications. It supports field and crop management decisions and risk assessments.
DTN is also planning to leverage its own weather station network beside ClearAg’s predictive agronomic solutions to offer precise independent insights in agriculture.
Iteris president and CEO Joe Bergera said: “When we combine our transportation expertise with the meteorological expertise at DTN, we will be able to deliver differentiated solutions that will drive value to our customers around the world.”
In March, CONSUS, a research partnership between University College Dublin (UCD) and Origin Enterprises, selected Iteris ClearAg environmental intelligence to integrate with its crop modelling platform.
