Spotifarm
Spotifarm allows you to manage nitrogen inputs using satellite images, combined with a fertilization plan calculation engine (Azofert & Fertiweb basic). Satellite images are used to determine the nitrogen absorbed over winter by crops (i.e. winter crops), enabling the balance method to be adjusted to the year's conditions and to reflect the heterogeneity of plots. The farmer enters the fertilization data, validates the relevant satellite images and the calculation engine does the rest. The farmer's field contours must be validated before starting with Spotifarm.
