become
active. A region, a crop type and a Growth
Stage need to be selected.
If your region is not noted in the drop-
down menu, select the
Region
that
reflects your current position best when
comparing geographic location, climate, general soil types and farming practices. The region setting is used for fine-
tuning and optimizing the N Algorithm.
Select the
Crop Type
on which you are applying fertilizer. For the crops Wheat, Barley and Rapeseed the N Algorithm
is verified by independent field experiments.
Select the
Growth Stage
that reflects your current crop status. For Wheat and Barley the Growth Stage is used to
select the most appropriate VI index, NDVI or NDRE, further it will be used for fine-tuning and optimizing the N-
Algorithm.
