Nutrition recipe & Nutrient balance

How you benefit from the gaiasense app’s nutrition recipe and nutrient balance:

  • You can calculate the nutrient needs of your crop
  • You can get personalized nutritional advice for your field
  • You can implement environmentally and climate-friendly practices
  • You can benefit from the extra “green” support of the Eco Schemes

 

Nutrition recipe

Thanks to the gaiasense app, you will be able to receive Nutrition recipe for any field you wish.

What does this mean;
The Nutrition Recipe service analyzes the soil fertility on the field in both basic soil properties and nutrient content. It calculates the availability but also the losses of nutrients and compares them with the needs of the crop. If the needs are not covered by the soil, it proceeds to advice of adding the missing elements. For the addition of the elements, the appropriate fertilizers, the exact dosage and the time of their application are recommended for the best possible results, always with an emphasis on the protection of natural resources.

How will you get the Recipe?
Log in to the gaiasense app. On the home page, through the menu, you can choose “Nutrition Recipe Issue”. The list of your parcels will appear, from where you can choose the one you wish to receive advice on. Next, you select a crop from those currently running on that field.

Finally, you choose a territorial analysis from the available ones and by pressing “Issue” you receive the advice.

We recommend that you select the most recent soil analysis on file so that the advice produced is based on data that best reflects the true state of the soil.

It is worth noting that the gaiasense app has information from a qualified digital database with the nutrient needs of the reference crop for a growing season.

* Note: The Nutrition Recipe service presupposes that for the plot of land of your choice, a soil analysis of a full package (advanced) has already been registered on the gaiasense platform, by you or your agricultural consultant. Otherwise, the command will not be able to be executed.

Nutrient balance

Thanks to the gaiasense app you can receive a Nutrient Balance for the field of your choice.

What does this mean;

The Nutrient balance service analyzes the soil fertility on the plot in both basic soil properties and nutrient content. It calculates the availability but also the losses of nutrients and compares them with the needs of the crop. If the needs are not covered by the soil, it proceeds to advice of adding the missing elements. For the addition of the elements, the appropriate fertilizers, the exact dosage and the time of their application are recommended for the best possible results, always with an emphasis on the protection of natural resources.

How will you calculate it?

Log in to the gaiasense app. On the home page, through the menu, you can choose “Nutrient Balance Issue”. The list of your plots will appear, from where you can choose the one for which you wish to receive the Balance. Next, you select a crop from those currently running on that field.

Then, you choose an advanced package territorial analysis from the available ones. We suggest that you prefer the territorial analysis that fits best chronologically with the period you will choose next.

Finally, you choose the period of time for which you are interested in calculating the Nutrient Balance. The time range you can choose is set to not exceed one year (365 days) and include one growing season.

By pressing “Issue” you receive a report on the Balance in question.

It is noted that after the Cultivation Period Needs have been assessed, the Fertilization Applications you have recorded, for the period of your choice, appear. The final Nutrient Balance and the corresponding Characterization result from the comparison of the Needs with the set of Applications.

If the total of any element added exceeds the needs of the crop for the selected growing season, then the Balance will be labeled “Surplus”. If, on the contrary, it falls short of the needs, it will be characterized as “Deficit”, and if the needs are exactly met, it is given the designation “Neutral Balance”.

** Note: The Nutrient Balance service presupposes that for the plot of land of your choice, a soil analysis of a full package (advanced) has already been registered on the gaiasense platform, by you or your agricultural consultant. Otherwise, the order will not be able to be executed.
