The project will deliver a low-cost, wireless, in-soil sensor system for monitoring available moisture, pH and nutrients continuously and at multiple depths in ‘indicator’ sections of fields. Early adoption will be against labile N for Velcourt's arable wheat production. This will be extended to potatoes, OSR & livestock forage, including the technically-demanding sensing of semi-labile P & K. The commercial proposition will build-on the integrated agronomy services offered by Origin to calibrate the sensor results & determine the relationship between sensor output and available plant nutrients. Field & lab trials will relate this data to seasonal plant responses to understand the dynamics of nutrient release / mineralisation & plant uptake / immobilisation. Delivery of the validated sensor will allow 'smart' dynamic control of fertiliser application and optimise nutrient inputs Vs field biological yield potential.

该项目将提供一种低成本、无线的土壤传感器系统，用于在农田“指示”部分的多个深度连续监测可用的水分、pH值和养分。早期采用将不利于Velcourt耕地小麦生产的不稳定氮。这将扩展到土豆、OSR和牲畜饲料，包括技术要求苛刻的半不稳定P & k传感。商业主张将建立在Origin提供的综合农学服务的基础上，以校准传感器结果并确定传感器输出与可用植物营养之间的关系。田间和实验室试验将把这些数据与植物的季节性反应联系起来，以了解养分释放/矿化和植物吸收/固定的动态。经过验证的传感器的交付将允许“智能”动态控制肥料施用，并优化养分投入与田间生物产量潜力。
