There are an ever increasing number of tools promising to save fertiliser or increase yield through a range of sensing, measurement, data analytics and forecasting technologies. Fundamentally the requirement for nutrients depends on three factors: 🌽 Crop Demand πŸ’© Soil supply 🚜 Fertiliser Recovery We can estimate those by **Reviewing** past measures and experience to Plan nutrient management decisions. In season we can **Check** nutrient status with a range of tools to estimate crop #deficiency or #sufficiency and judge the likely #responsiveness to fresh nutrient applications. At the end of the season we can #Review the success of our nutrient management to inform future plans. The Yorkshire Crop Nutrition Club brings together four farmers - Peter Southwell, David Blacker, Liz Harrison, Adam Hayward with ARC and ADAS' High Mowthorpe Farming Association – to: 🎨 Co-design a shared Explanatory framework for on-farm nutrient decisions, from the NUTRI-CHECK NET Plan-Check-Review approach πŸ“ˆ Explore how best to integrate historic farm data and Evidence for better plans πŸ§ͺ Evaluate soil & crop measures & technologies 🧭 Examine the value of benchmarking between farms – can we learn more by working together and seeing our results in the context of others? 🚜 Experiment with β€˜modest’ and β€˜complete’ nutrition strips 🎀 Exchange ideas and findings with other farmers and stakeholders from the outset Our farmers are looking at a range of technologies including soil tests, leaf tissue analysis, sap analysis, Paul-Tech nitrate sensors, Messium hyperspectral satellite sensing, SENSEEN Nutriscope sensor, YaraPlus app & N tester, Petiole Pro canopy app and AgAnalyst Ltd. FINE tool.
