Improving nitrogen efficiency using the Albrecht method and precise soil analyses using satellite-based data
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-BY-2020-DBWKW
Contract period: 01.01.2020
- 31.12.2022
Budget: 395,221 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: fertilisation, soil, water, climate change
The optimisation of nitrogen efficiency in agricultural crops is one of the most important prerequisites for counteracting nitrogen losses and harmful environmental effects. In order to achieve improved nitrogen efficiency in the plants, a precise method of fertilisation is required above all. In this project we will fertilize according to the so-called Albrecht method. This method does not focus on the cultivated crop but on the soil and the nutrients it contains. It is a holistic fertilization considering all nutrients and their effects and interactions to each other. In addition to nitrogen all other macro- and micronutrients that play a role will be considered. The project shall addressed following questions: Which fertilisation methods improve nitrogen efficiency? What influence does fertilisation according to the Albrecht method have on N efficiency compared to fertilisation after plant removal? Which nutrients and nutrient ratios have the greatest influence on nitrogen efficiency in the plant? Does part plot fertilisation have an economic influence? etc.
