Case: High-Yield Crops Go Smart and Sustainable
Indhold fra partner Hvad er dette?
In collaboration with various research organisations, Samson Agro has developed technology that ensures real-time measurements of nutrients in manure. The technology enables farmers to avoid nutrient overuse for more sustainable farming.
Samson Agro has applied the latest technology to its agricultural machines for more than 75 years. The challenge is always to meet farmer needs to increase crop yield, make efficient use of the nutrients in manure and reduce their environmental impact.
To ensure product innovation of the highest possible standard, Samson Agro partners with universities and other research organisations. As a result, the company has been able to expand its smart farming technology with a GPS solution for variable slurry application based on GPS mapping.
The solution is combined with a nuclear magnetic resonance sensor system that takes precise real-time measurements of nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the natural fertilisers. In this way, farmers can be sure that slurry spreaders distribute nutrients precisely, according to the requirements of each field section.
BY MAXIMISING THE USE OF ANIMAL MANURE, FARMER RELIANCE ON CHEMICAL FERTILISERS IS REDUCED – ALONG WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT
Digital solutions that prevent nutrient overuse are the sustainable way to higher farm yields and profits. By maximising the use of animal manure, farmer reliance on chemical fertilisers is reduced – along with their environmental footprint.
Samson Agro is a Danish example of a global green tech company that leads the way with the development and sale of high-quality agricultural machinery. Wherever farmers are located in the world, Samson Agro designs machinery to give the highest yield.
