Blog - 19.08.2020 - Nutrient deficiency: Nearly two thirds of all surfaces boast at least one blatant absencee
A good plant nutrition is the correct synergy of different nutrients. No nutrient should therefore be in abundance and no nutrient should be in deficiency. However, from the analysis of around 300,000 soil samples, we know that at least one (or more) nutrient(s) in content class A or B is present on around 60% of all areas we sampled. This is an unsustainable situation that we urgently need to change Read more

Blog - 17.08.2020 - Incorrect liming is still a problem
Every farm manager still loses an average of 50 €/ha in yield every year due to incorrect liming. Our analysis of almost 300,000 soil samples from the last four years shows that about one third of the areas have incorrectly adjusted pH values. The solution to this dilemma is relatively simple.

Strategies in corn cultivation are continuously optimized. Nevertheless, it still poses a number of economic, ecological and political challenges. Digital processes can increase the efficiency of maize production and at the same time conserve natural resources. Read more

Blog - 16.09.2019 - Plan lime fertilisation with agriPORT
The positive influence of lime is often underestimated in arable farming. Dr. Martin Schneider explains in a video which agronomic advantages arise from liming with sub-area accuracy and how you can plan this quickly and easily with agriPORT. Read more

Blog - 18.02.2019 - How is it that base fertilization always comes second
Depending on the nutrient and livestock density of a region, 30-40% of the areas are often underserved according to official advice. We wanted to substantiate this somewhat rough statistic with our own investigation and took a look. The result: on average every second field suffers from a considerable lack of nutrients. Read more

Blog - 05.10.2018 - Soil data as basis for intelligent plant cultivation
Farmers, representatives of the agribusiness and scientists discussed new ways of data collection and evaluation in crop production at the SeBiMo innovation forum. Agricon was one of the project partners and presented its sub-area-specific management of soil fertility based on nutrient contents at a final congress. Read more
