Sentinel Ag announced a strategic partnership with Nave Analytics to integrate Nave’s fully remote, daily soil moisture and crop water use intelligence into the Sentinel platform for agile agronomy.

Beginning in 2026, Sentinel will offer full-field, site-specific soil moisture and crop water use insights that enhance irrigation scheduling and improve water use efficiency without hardware installation. These capabilities will be available in the Irrigation and Complete tiers of the Sentinel platform. Features include spatial maps, trendlines, and forecasts for field level soil water content, crop water use, water stress, and leaching risk.

"We are excited about the numerous opportunities that Nave’s insights create, from enhancing nitrogen recommendations to enabling irrigation decision support." said Jackson Stansell, Founder and CEO of Sentinel Ag. Through the partnership, Sentinel Ag will incorporate real-time soil moisture and crop water use measurements into its nitrogen recommendations and deliver irrigation decision support tools.

“Joining forces with Sentinel Ag accelerates our shared vision for scalable precision agriculture. This integration demonstrates how leading AgTech companies can collaborate to solve the industry’s biggest challenges. We are proud to contribute our cost-effective, sensor-free soil moisture and irrigation analytics to the Sentinel Ag ecosystem, ensuring that more farmers globally can access the tools necessary to manage inputs more efficiently." said Jessica Korinek, Co-Founder and CEO of Nave Analytics. 

Many leading agricultural regions throughout the U.S. and globally are facing water quality and quantity concerns associated with nitrogen fertilizer applications and irrigation. Farmers and agronomists are also facing pressure from high fertilizer costs and irrigation water allocations. Across irrigated and rainfed systems, understanding how water and nitrogen interact in the environment is important for good application decision making.

“Having both data streams in one system removes extra steps, saves time, and makes it easier for agronomists and growers to act quickly on what matters most. Together, we are creating a simple and efficient way for agronomists and growers to manage their fields, protect their inputs, and get more value out of every decision they make,” said Bradley Griggs, COO of Nave Analytics. “It offers the most complete data toolset to help irrigation agronomists stay ahead of the game,” added Val Kovalsky, Nave’s CTO.

Integrated capabilities will be launched in February 2026, and will be demoed during Sentinel Ag’s Sentry Network Summit to be hosted on January 23, 2026, at the Scott Conference Center in Omaha, NE.
