Abelardo Cuffia points to the strategic planning of fertilization in wheat with the meter SPAD Minolta.
The product marketed by the company makes it possible to measure the green index of the leaves.
In this way, at different phenological stages of the crop, the amount of nitrogen that is required can be precisely determined.
It is a simple and direct way to avoid the risk of low production due to nitrogen deficiency, or high costs due to over-fertilization.
It is a non-invasive measurement because you simply place the clamp of the meter on the leaf and the chlorophyll content reading appears on the screen in less than two seconds.
Apart from helping to stagger nitrogen fertilization according to the different stages of wheat, the quality of the grain can be improved, providing the nutrient to increase the protein content.
