 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Nutri-Stat addresses the need of SMEPs with a cost-effective and real-time soil nutrient sensing system using ISEs integrated in an LTCC based micro Total Analysis System. The technological device will be composed of a complex soil probe combined with a data-logger for the measurement and recording of the concentration of the macronutrients Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P) and Potassium (K) present in the soil. Nutri-Stat will also read electrical conductivity and pH levels in soil. The Nutri-Stat system shall also feature user-friendly software to assist in soil nutrient management. The positive impacts of this tool will contribute to environmental and financial sustainability, whilst significantly improving the quality standards of agricultural produce across the EU. Nutri-Stat will provide farmers with constant monitoring of fields, tailored crop analysis and disease management, making information on the nutrient status of arable land for the first time ever, easily accessible and available to the farmer anytime anywhere.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Researchers have advanced a sensor system that will, for the first time, allow farmers to assess the nutrient status of their soils anytime, anywhere.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Farmers need accurate information about soil nutrient content if they are to apply the correct amount of fertiliser. Traditional laboratory testing is however laborious, taking up to three weeks to complete.

Now, a cost-effective, real-time soil nutrient sensor that delivers a result in less than five hours has been advanced by the EU-funded NUTRI-STAT project. The device measures nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium micronutrients, as well as the electrical conductivity and pH of the soil.

The sensor components, including electrodes and advanced lab-on-a-chip technology, are enclosed in a porous ceramic/PVC material, with readings displayed on a remote LCD controller. This allows farmers to bury the device itself in the soil indefinitely, without fear of damaging it.

NUTRI-STAT has thus provided the agricultural sector with a pioneering technology that ensures the efficient application of fertiliser. This is important to ensure proper disease management and to boost crop productivity, but also to comply with strict EU fertiliser legislation.
