Precise zonal application of liquid fertilizers

Description

Accurate and targeted application of liquid substances into the soil

Sector

A1.6Support activities to agriculture and post-harvest crop activities

Needs/ Problem statement

Reduction of the consumption of liquid substances (including liquid fertilisers) per unit area, in particular better use of these substances in case of lack of rainfall on the basis of targeted application to plants and to the top layer of the soil profile.

Objective

Implementation of a modular applicator for accurate and targeted application of liquid substances into the soil, which will allow to ensure targeted nutrition of cultivated agricultural crops and reduce ecological risks and economic and energy inputs. In addition to liquid fertilisers, it will also be used for the application of biopesticides, inoculants, plant stimulants or inhibitors, etc.
