Did you know that Dutch farmers are facing new challenges due to restrictions on manure application? With a focus on nutrient-contaminated areas, maintaining high crop yields is more complex. In a recent demo in northern Netherlands, several fertilization methods were tested, revealing that the strip injector was the most effective. This technique places slurry close to plant roots, enhancing nitrogen uptake and reducing residual nitrogen in the soil. By optimizing fertilization methods and timing, farmers can significantly boost crop yields while preserving soil and water quality. Understanding plant uptake and using the right techniques are crucial for efficient and sustainable farming.
