N-Pilot® - Determine fertilization needs with with the help of a portable reflectometer

 

A handheld, portable sensor that detects the nitrogen nutritional status of plants.

 

About N-Pilot®

N-Pilot® is a portable reflectometer, measuring the nitrogen nutritional status of crops by assessing the plants chlorophyll content and the amount of biomass.

N-Pilot® provides a nitrogen fertilization recommendation that includes all top-dressings for cereals and the total N-requirement for rape seed after winter.

 

Easy measurements for immediate results

Measurements with N-Pilot® are carried out in 20 seconds while moving through the field. The ease of use facilitates the assessment of varying nitrogen demand across the field, calculating fertilization requirements accordingly. A field diagnosis can include multiple N-Pilot® measurements.

 

 

The fertilization advice considers the following parameters

• Crop variety
• Expected yield
• Growth stage of the crop
• Protein target (grain protein content)
