Annual or multi-year fertilizwe plans can be produced, together with the correct crop rotation taking into account the amount of organic fertilisers produced on the farm. Country of use: SI.

Nitrates Directive

The NDICEA nitrogen planner presents an integrated assessment of nitrogen availability for crops. This is more than simple nitrogen budgeting for each crop - crop demand is on one side, and expected availability of artificial fertilizers and manures, crop residues, green manures and soil is on the other side, also taking into account leaching and denitrification losses.
