Variable rate fertilisation on durum wheat by satellite images

Fertilizer should applied efficiently at rates based on the needs of the various management zones within the field. Variable rate fertilizer (VRF) application is a precision agriculture technology that considers the diverse requirements within a field allowing for better placement of nutrients and consequently, improved nutrient uptake. Management zones will be determined based on variables such as yield maps and satellite images. Doses will be controlled through rate control technology, which instructs the equipment to apply fertilizer at predetermined doses throughout the various management zones. The evaluation of the effectiveness of the treatment and the correct distribution will be the final objectives of the research activity.
