SEGES Innovation Launches New Nitrous Oxide Emission Alert in FarmTracking
21/10/2024
A new smart alert that helps farmers avoid excess nitrous oxide emissions has been recognized as a three-star European innovation at Agromek.
SEGES Innovation P/S introduces a new feature in FarmTracking: the nitrous oxide emission index and alert, which assists farmers in reducing the risk of additional nitrous oxide emissions during fertilization. This climate-improving tool indicates the risk of emissions through a simple color display, making it easy to plan fertilization based on current conditions.
Sometimes it's small changes in daily practices that can significantly impact outcomes. Such potential might be embedded in this small alert tool. Neither consultants nor farmers typically consider nitrous oxide emissions when planning fertilization, which can lead to unfavorable fertilization practices concerning these emissions. This tool provides a straightforward solution for adjusting fertilization strategies to reduce emissions, notes the Agromek judges' panel, designating it a three-star European innovation.
With this feature, farmers and consultants can plan their fertilization strategies to minimize nitrous oxide emissions by fertilizing when the risk is lowest. The tool provides real-time data based on factors such as soil type, weather conditions, and soil nutrient content, enabling informed decisions about fertilization.
