Mobile near-infrared spectroscopy is a fast and affordable way of measuring key soil parameters. It enables the fertiliser requirement to be determined easily with pinpoint precision. Agroscope has published a new factsheet outlining this technology.
Factsheet Series for Optimising Nutrient Efficiency
In a series of factsheets aimed at practitioners, Agroscope presents current scientific knowledge on the optimisation of nutrient cycles. The factsheets give a concise explanation of the advantages, drawbacks, trade-offs and economic aspects of individual measures. In this way, Agroscope supports farmers’ efforts to enhance nutrient efficiency and minimise losses.
