EMILI and BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada collaborate to advance digital crop optimization solutions

EMILI and BASF Agricultural Solutions Canada (BASF) have announced a strategic collaboration to advance the development and adoption of digital farming solutions that increase on-farm productivity and sustainability. 

Collaborating with BASF increases EMILI’s ability to advance innovation and foster engagement in agtech solutions and production practices that enable farmer-centric, sustainable technologies and techniques, a focal point at EMILI’s Innovation Farms powered by AgExpert and its annual Agriculture Enlightened conference. 

During the 2026 growing season, EMILI will demonstrate and gather feedback on BASF’s xarvio® FIELD MANAGER to showcase its ability to provide precise, field-specific crop management advice on a full-scale Manitoba farm. Insights from these demonstrations will be shared with growers, researchers, and ag-tech stakeholders during field tours and events on EMILI’s Innovation Farms.

xarvio® FIELD MANAGER is a digital software platform that combines growth stage and disease modelling, weather and satellite data, along with field history, to provide real-time agronomic recommendations. The platform is designed to help producers and agronomists quickly identify key risks and opportunities and provide them with data-driven insights to inform crop management decisions. 

EMILI and BASF share a vision of advancing innovation adoption in Canada through increased understanding, development, and adoption of digital tools that benefit farmers. 

Demonstrating xarvio® FIELD MANAGER at EMILI’s Innovation Farms during the 2026 growing season will showcase how BASF’s technology works in the Canadian Prairies in a full-scale commercial farm setting.
