Minor improvements
November 24, 2022, Web V5.37.0
Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) Review
DecipherAg displays Nutrient Use Efficiency (NUE) using paddock nutrient application rates and standard removal rates based on the crops yield.
NUE is expressed as a percentage and can be used as an indication of how well a crop or pasture has taken up the nutrients applied.
Learn more about NUE here.
Gross Margin (GM) Review
DecipherAg displays Gross Margin (GM) across paddocks.
This calculation is based on fertiliser applications and their associated costs compared with yield and grain price.
Learn more about GM here
September 7, 2022 , Web v5.36.1
Water Use Efficiency (WUE) Review
Water Use Efficiency (WUE) is the measure of how much yield (kg), is produced per millimeter of Growing Season Rainfall (GSR): 25% of Nov – March + 100% of 1st April -31st Oct calculated from SILO weather data service. A higher number indicates higher efficiency.
Learn more about WUE here.

CO2e Review
CO2e, or carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent, is a standard unit for measuring carbon emissions. It expresses the impact of each different greenhouse gas in terms of the amount of CO2 that would create the same amount of warming. That way, a carbon footprint consisting of lots of different greenhouse gases can be expressed as a single number.
Learn more about CO2e here.

Accounts
Split year accounts have been replaced with calendar year – all affected data has been moved across.
Plans
Plans (if they don’t exist) will be created for the 2019, 2020 and 2021 seasons, and be populated with crop type and estimated yield, based off satellite data.
This will assist with pre filling (PIF) for 2023 sampling jobs. No changes will be made to existing plans.
