About this app

The eKonomics app puts practical farming tools and information in the palm of your hand. Get accurate information, research, and insights anytime, anywhere. From nutrient management and ROI calculators to local weather tools, commodity prices and an “Ask an Agronomist” feature, it’s everything you need to maximize your farming investments and decision making.

Weather Tools:

Local Forecasting
Get accurate, location-specific forecasts tailored to your farm. Monitor temperature, wind, and moisture in real time and plan fieldwork with a five-day temperature outlook.

Growing Degree Days Calculator
Measure heat accumulation in your area to better predict crop maturity and pest development rates based on geographic location. Make timely, data-driven decisions with insights tailored to your local conditions.

Rainfall Tracker
Track rainfall in your fields and spot weather patterns and trends over time. Use the location-specific data to guide field decisions and manage risk by identifying potential conditions for drought, flooding, or nutrient loss.

Tractor Calculators:

NH3 Acres Per Tank
Take the guesswork out of how far your ammonia will go. Use the tool to maximize your efficiency and quickly calculate how many acres your tank will cover.

Nitrogen Per Acre
Understand your nitrogen rate with confidence. Enter the amount of NH3 applied in Metric or U.S. units to get accurate per-acre insights.

Tractor Speed
Calculate how much time you need for application based on your setup and speed. See your acreage coverage and application rate.

Fertilizer Planning Calculators:

Input Planning Calculator
Assess and compare crop input costs across your fields. Build a complete cost picture to make more informed, profitable planning decisions.

Dry Fertilizer Calculator
Create custom fertilizer blends with confidence. Calculate NPKS values to meet your crop needs and maximize nutrient efficiency.

Nutrient Planning Calculators:

ROI Calculator
Inform nutrient application plans and zero in on the optimal phosphorus and potassium rates based on the expected nutrient response of your fields.

Nutrient Removal Calculator
Calculate nutrient removal based on crop yield and standard removal rates for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and sulphur. Include your input costs to evaluate economic impact and guide nutrient planning.

Prairie Nutrient Calculator
Make more informed decisions after harvest. Determine how much to replace to optimize fertilizer use and maximize crop performance in Western Canada.
