Recommendation system by: Research project

Preparation of uniform methodology for establishing fertilising plans

A scientific report describing existing fertilization planning recommendations, comparing them to other countries' recommendation systems. Recommendation for a planning method for nutrient fertilization, including estimation of mineral nitrogen in soil. Also includes more open field plants, vegetables and orchards.
