Environmental management zone modeling and analysis

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device, information associated with a land characteristic and a management practice on an environmental management zone;
• receiving, by the computing device, weather data relating to the environmental management zone;
• generating an optimum point of a crop nutrient for the management zone based on a crop model or artificial intelligence techniques that utilize as inputs the information associated with a land characteristic and the weather data and calculates an optimum point of the crop nutrient to be applied to the management zone based upon a difference between the amount of the crop nutrient determined by the crop model or by the artificial intelligence techniques to be needed for the management zone and a predicted current soil rate of the crop nutrient;
• storing the optimum point of the crop nutrient to be applied to the management zone in an electronic data file and using the electronic data file to automate application of a crop nutrient application source to apply the optimum point of the crop nutrient to the management zone.

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a computing device, information associated with a management zone, wherein the information comprises a soil type of the management zone;
• receiving, by the computing device real-time weather data associated with the management zone;
• generating an optimal amount of nutrient response for he a crop input to be applied to the management zone with a crop growth model or artificial intelligence utilizing inputs based on the soil type of the management zone and the historical and real-time weather data associated with the management zone and wherein the optimal amount of the crop input to be applied to the management zone is based upon a difference between the predicted optimal amount of the crop input determined by the crop growth model or artificial intelligence to be needed for the management zone and a predicted current soil rate of a crop nutrient;
• storing the optimal amount of the crop input to be applied to the management zone in an electronic data file and using the electronic data file to automate application of a crop input application source to apply the optimal amount of the crop input to the management zone.
