This proposal aims to develop an automated system for precise application of nitrogen (N) fertiliser and plant growth regulators (PGRs). Algorithms and software will be developed for integrating diverse forms of data from crop sensing instruments, yield maps, soil maps and soil N measurements. This will enable more accurate N fertiliser and PGR management through real-time decision making in the field, both on a field-by-field basis and on a metre-by-metre basis. Adopting this technology will improve crop productivity, increase farm profitability, maximise the efficiency with which N fertiliser and PGRs are used, and minimise pollution such as nitrate leaching and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The project is highly innovative in that it seeks to develop the first technology for variably applying PGRs and it will be the first technology to successfully integrate the complete range of information sources required to reliably predict the crop’s requirement for N fertiliser.

该提案旨在开发一种自动化系统，用于精确施用氮肥和植物生长调节剂（PGR）。将开发算法和软件，用于整合来自作物传感仪器、产量图、土壤图和土壤氮测量的各种形式的数据。这将通过在田间进行实时决策来实现更准确的氮肥和PGR管理，无论是逐田还是逐米。采用这项技术将提高作物生产力，增加农场盈利能力，最大限度地提高氮肥和PGR的使用效率，并最大限度地减少硝酸盐淋溶和温室气体排放等污染。该项目具有高度创新性，因为它寻求开发第一种用于快速施用PGR的技术，并且它将是第一种成功整合可靠预测作物对氮肥需求所需的完整信息源的技术。
