Precision farming tool generated €19 M for French farmers in 2016

In 2016, 21,000 French farmers used the N-Tester to measure the nitrogen status of 710.000 hectares of wheat. As a result, farmers were able to adapt their nutrition plan to the needs of the crop with direct effect on yield, protein content, fertilization cost and the environment.

Tailored crop nutrition is key for protecting the environment and for farmers’ profitability.

In oilseed rape, nitrogen needs can vary tremendously from one farm to the other and from one year to the other, within a range of 20 to 150 kg/N. In turn, farmers need to adapt their crop nutrition program to apply the right amount of fertilizer at the right time, based on the plant needs.
