Soil Physic Fertility : penetrometry test
Soil structure helps to increase water and nutrient retention for sustainable cropping system. The spade test is a cheap and
Using Growth model Tipstar in starch potatoes
In 2024 our CNC has tested a growth model, called “Tipstar”, for potatoes and especialy Starch potatoes. we evaluate 3
Crop sensing technology method to optimize fertilization in potatoes
The potato crop is one of the most high-cost productions which has high risks of soil, water and nitrate pollution
Managing Phosphorus nutrition using grain P measurements
Most of a crop’s phosphorus (P) uptake (>80%) is redistributed to its grain (or tubers) by harvest. So analysis of
Managing N using grain protein as an indicator
Nitrogen (N) plays a crucial role in crop production but causes substantial economomic and environemtnal costs. Farmers must understand whether
Harvest analysis with benchmarking
Plants need nutrients primarily to support photosynthesis, and secondarily to support regeneragtion. Crop-captured nutrients are seldom lost during growth (except
Harvest analysis shows the prevelance of nutrient deficiencies
Through the Yield Enhancement Network (YEN), grain nutrient concentrations, yields and associated nutriional data have been collated for wheat and
Leaf Analysis to diagnose crop nutrient status
Essential crop nutrients (Table 1) are needed primarily to enable leaf photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration, so are initially concentrated in
N-min analysis in Spring
Mineral nitrogen (N), or N-min, refers to the amount of nitrate and ammonium nitrogen found in the root zone, i.e.,
Soil Physic Fertility: Slake Test
Soil structural stability is vital for resilience and erosion prevention, with the Slake Test Method offering a cost-effective solution. This
