Nitrogen efficiency - EIP project video

Due to high nitrate levels, the amount of fertilizer has been limited in many regions. The "Optimization of nitrogen efficiency" project aims to test various fertilization methods in order to improve nitrogen efficiency in arable farming while avoiding harmful effects on the environment. A special feature of the project is the inclusion of the Albrecht method, which focuses on the nutrient ratios in the soil, as a precise alternative to standardized soil evaluation. In the project, field trials are carried out, yields are measured and the nutrient content in soil and plant samples is examined. From this, fertilization recommendations are derived that differ from conventional fertilization methods.
