N-Sensor

• The N-Sensor uses the well-documented relationship between plant chlorophyll and nitrogen content as a basis for varying nitrogen fertiliser applications in real time.
• Nitrogen is the nutrient with the largest direct effect on crop yields, and therefore improving crop nitrogen nutrition is likely to have the biggest effect on farm profitability.
• Below is an example of how this unique scanning tool measures biomass and chlorophyll in real time, then variable spreads nitrogen according to crop requirement.

  

• Nitrogen losses to the environment have a significant impact and are governed by legislation, so more precise application is not only the responsible option, but also helps the agricultural industry meet its targets for reducing nitrate contamination.
• Nitrogen is a costly nutrient, so optimising its use is vital for the farm business.

• Biomass maps are effectively a map of soil fertility variation within a field, but also help to quantify the effects of pests and diseases.

• Example of a biomass map produced by N-Sensor. Research has shown us that biomass maps produced by N-Sensor can be used for tiller counting.
