Stenon News for Agriculture Experts – June 2025

Welcome to the June edition of the Stenon newsletter!

This month, we’re celebrating a major milestone in our international growth with the launch of a new partnership in Greece marking our first entry into Southeast Europe. We’re also honored to be nominated for the 2026 German Sustainability Award, a recognition of our commitment to driving measurable impact in sustainable agriculture.

From Central Asia to South America, our field teams and partners are helping farmers move beyond assumptions by using real-time data to make smarter fertilization decisions. And through crop evaluations in collaboration with our partners, we’re turning insights into proven results right at harvest time.
 

Finally, in this month’s Reading Tips, we take a global look at what makes fertilization truly effective, with insights from recent research in Kazakhstan, Switzerland, and Brazil.

Let’s dive in.

Stenon News for Agriculture Experts – May 2025

Welcome to the May Edition of the Stenon News for Agriculture Experts!

This month we’re excited to share a range of updates from the Stenon ecosystem. For instance, our CEO and Founder, Niels Grabbert, will take the stage at the upcoming World Agri-Tech South America Summit in São Paulo, joining a high-level panel to discuss the role of regenerative agriculture in driving climate-smart farming practices across Latin America.

From the field, our partners continue to demonstrate the power of combining technology with local expertise. In Central Asia, Eurasia Group showcases how real-time soil data from Stenon can be seamlessly integrated with John Deere’s variable rate technology to boost efficiency and productivity. Meanwhile in Brazil, our close collaboration with Lavoro Agro has led to further enhancements of our WebApp’s VRA functionality—giving growers greater control and precision when managing fertilization zones.

And in our Reading Tips section, we take a closer look at the evolving landscape of variable rate fertilization and nutrient mapping. From academic critiques to practical field applications, the future of fertilization is shifting—and with Stenon’s real-time soil insights, it’s becoming more data-driven, sustainable, and effective than ever.

Let’s dive in.
