Sustainable agriculture requires best farming practices to be applied to increase agricultural productivity and maximize farm profitability while minimizing environmental harm.
Case
Precision farming is a key to best agricultural management practices. It enables farmers to add the specific nutrients needed for their crop, in exactly the right amount, at the right time. A key concern in the case of fertilizer application is that too much nutrient – more than the plants can take up – is wasting money and harming nature.
Yara offers comprehensive knowledge to its customers, tailored to local growing conditions and specific crops. Our Crop Nutrition Concept is supported by tools for precision farming:
N-Sensoris a tractor-mounted tool that allows growers to measure a crop's nitrogen requirement as it passes across the field, and to vary the fertilizer application rate accordingly. It ensures that the optimal rate of fertilizer is applied at each individual part of the field.
N-Testeris a hand-held device that measures the nitrogen status of a crop from the chlorophyll content of its leaves. Based on the measurements, an agronomist can evaluate the nitrogen needed to meet target yields, and adjust fertilizer use accordingly.
Megalabis an internet-based, secure system offering interpretation and biometric data services from agricultural analysis. When a sample is entered into the system a comparison is made with the guideline level and an interpretation and recommendation is given.
Tankmix.comis an online service providing advice on the physical mixing characteristics of Yara's foliar products with agrochemicals.
