What was the challenge/problem addressed?
The soil heterogenity shows very different yield levels. The input material (seed material and fertilizer) should be adapt by each yield potential zone. Most of the cases with less input material can be reach the same or higher yields. Environmental friendly
Hoe heb je het probleem opgelost??
Creating variable rate maps in GIS system based on different layers.
Wat is innovatief in jouw praktijkgeval?
New service solution – “hand by hand” solution with the farmers. The processing of different digital layers in GIS system with a combination of the farmers knowledge. The farmer is the one who knows his plots the best. Based on soils EC measurement (soil conductivity) we created soil sampling zones from where we took samples from each homogene management zones (3-5 ha). 1 sample composed of from 15-20 sub-samples each GPS based points. The laboratory analyses tells the nutrient distribution map like P, K, Mg, pH humus content and other important parameters where we can determine the yield potentially higher and lower management.
Wat zijn de succesfactoren bij het oplossen van het probleem??
Seed material optimization on plot and crop. lower input – higher yield-lower environmental inpact.
Les geleerd
More integration of farmers knowledge.
What role does the advisor or advisory service play with the practical case?
Personal trust from farmer sider. The advisors helped to implement this solution by connecting the different actors who know, understand and implement the path to the solution.
