Western Ag Innovations Inc. was incorporated in 1994 and in 1995 they commenced the development of the Plant Root Simulator, (PRS)TM and Nutrient Forecaster. The Plant Root Simulator (PRS)TM probe consists of an ion-exchange membrane encapsulated in a plastic probe. The PRSTM probe is inserted into soil and measures ion flux over time with minimal disturbance. Following the acceptance in the scientific community, the PRSTM Nutrient Forecaster software was developed and released in Western Canada. This software allows growers to quantify risks associated with fertilizer decisions and crop nutrition plans. This service is delivered through a network of sales representatives coordinated by the associated company, Western Ag Labs. For the past ten years, the PRSTM probes have provided a basis for determining fertilizer recommendations in Western Canada for 15 different cereal, pulse, and forage crops.
