Assistance / Boost program
Young farmers and Xfarm and Auravant companies.
Innovative features of the initiative / solution
Practical training in precision fertigatio.
Results obtanied
- Farmers see the possibility of using this free technology to monitor their crops and their development in different areas.
- These areas allow for differentiated irrigation and fertilisation management.
- Adjustment of times in irrigation sectors
Lessons learned
Identifying crop development allows for more efficient irrigation management, enabling the identification of problems in their development and key phenological moments for possible problems of lack of irrigation or heat waves.
