Field work continues!

During the fifth and sixth measurement campaigns, encompassing the cultivation of wheat, barley, maize, and rapeseed, we continue our research with the same dedication and precision as in previous campaigns. We start by measuring the plants using spectrophotometers in both wheat and rapeseed areas, allowing us to obtain precise data on nitrogen content variability in the surveyed area. Alongside the measurement process, we proceed to collect plant samples at designated points in the field. This process remains carefully and efficiently coordinated, involving the research team and farmers engaged in the project. The carefully packed samples are then sent to the Regional Chemical and Agricultural Station, where comprehensive laboratory analyses are conducted. In the laboratories of the chemical and agricultural station, parameters such as nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus, and dry matter content are analyzed. These detailed data are crucial for understanding plant nutrition, and comparing the results from different measurement campaigns allows us to monitor potential changes in response to applied fertilization or other factors affecting the crops of all plant species. Collaboration between consortium members, researchers, and farmers plays a key role in efficiently conducting the research work. The commitment of all parties enables the effective execution of the measurement campaign and the collection of valuable data. Our research aims not only to understand the differences in the development of these plants but also to improve optimal fertilization strategies. Further analysis of the results from the fifth and sixth measurement campaigns will form the basis for potential adjustments and optimizations in the subsequent stages of the project.
