Nutrient Calculator
It is a decision-support tool that helps farmers reduce fertilization costs, improve efficiency, and maximize crop yields. The integrated Nutrient Calculator provides optimal, customized fertilization recommendations based on crop type, area, and expected yield, with the option to increase accuracy by incorporating soil analysis, crop history, and fertilizer profiles. It also works as a fertilizer comparison tool, making it easier to select the most cost-effective option based on price and composition.
It is a decision-support tool designed to help farmers minimize fertilization costs, improve efficiency, and maximize crop yields. The integrated Nutrient Calculator generates optimal, customized fertilization recommendations by estimating nutrient requirements and total costs. Farmers can receive instant recommendations based on crop type, area, and expected yield, or improve accuracy by adding detailed information such as soil analysis data, previous crop history, and customized fertilizer profiles. The application also functions as a fertilizer comparison tool, enabling quick and easy analysis of products based on price and composition to ensure the most cost-effective strategy.
