The first measurement campaigns in barley and corn

We are launching the first measurement campaign in barley and corn crops, focusing on accurately monitoring and controlling plant development. The first step is to measure plants with spectrophotometers to collect representative data from live plants, as will be done in a real-world environment once the solution is fully commercialized. Once the measurements are complete, we will proceed to take plant samples, which will be sent to the District Chemical and Agricultural Station. The station's laboratories will carry out detailed analyses including nitrogen, potassium, phosphorus and plant dry weight. These parameters are key to understanding the nutritional status of the plants and their overall condition. Thanks to an efficient research team, the entire process is being carried out successfully and at the appropriate level of accuracy. Cooperation between scientists, laboratory technicians and sampling personnel is crucial for a successful measurement campaign. Adequate rigor in the collection and storage of samples is a guarantee that representative results will be obtained, with each measurement campaign we must follow the same principles of crop collection, which we ensure by training the research staff each time, based on previously prepared instructions. During the next stages of the project, we will focus on achieving the goals associated with the current research phase, aiming to develop effective methods for crop control using a portable spectrophotometer. Our goal is to minimize losses and increase crop efficiency by using precise tools and strategies tailored to the specific plant species.
