Stikstofonderzoek
Nitrogen analysis (N-mineral) is a rapid soil test that analyzes the amount of readily available nitrogen. This includes mineral nitrogen in the form of ammonium (NH4) and nitrate (NO3) dissolved in soil moisture, which the crop can directly access. This information can be used for adjustments during cultivation. Recommendation A recommendation is provided, taking into account the crop's nitrogen requirements and is adjusted for nitrogen stock, nitrogen-supplying capacity (NLV), and mineralization from applied organic manure and previous crops. Comprehensive Analysis Do you want a more comprehensive examination of all readily available nutrients? With BodemCheck, in addition to nitrogen, other major and trace elements are also analyzed. Is the crop already growing? In that case, you can also opt for BijmestMonitor, which looks at both soil and crop nutrients for a complete picture.
