From Nitrogen Use Efficiency to Farm Profitability (NUE-Profits)

通过使用植物作为传感器，该项目将为农民提供一个提高氮效率的框架（FINE），这是一种管理工具，可支持更好的氮利用，管理投入决策和氮利用效率报告。氮吸收数据测量将通过遥感、传感器和土壤测量在整个季节从植物中获得，并用于支持准确的氮定时和速率输入决策。该系统将支持减少氮的应用，但更有效地使用，提供清晰的使用见解。随着氮的使用和排放的减少，我们将为农民探索新的收入机会，通过减少碳排放来获得资金。我们的目标是使氮利用效率测量成为农民利用氮提供更多利润和环境收益的新基准。

By using plants as sensors this project will provide farmers with a Framework for improving Nitrogen efficiency (FINE) a management tool to support better nitrogen utilisation, management input decisions and Nitrogen use efficiency reporting. Nitrogen uptake data measurements will taken form plants through the season, through remote sensing, sensors, and soil measurement and be used to support accurate nitrogen timing and rate input decisions. This system will support reduced nitrogen applications though more efficient use, providing clear insight to use. With reductions in Nitrogen use and emissions we will explore new income opportunities for farmers financed by reduced carbon emissions. Our aim is to make nitrogen use efficiency measurements the new benchmark from which farmers utilise nitrogen providing more profit, and environmental gains.
