Integration of IRRINET with a fertigation software program
The main objective of the project it is the software analysis and development for fertigation that optimizes the use of mineral fertilizers and reduce the releases of pollutants while allowing for greater agriculture sustainability and adaptability to climate change. The software will be implemented in the irrigation service IRRINET and it will be based on innovative research advances on topic mixed with the experience of the GO, by the state of research on the subject and the last version of the application for the fertilization of the Emilia-Romagna Region "Fert_Office_v1_16".
Main results
- Arrangement of a database for the fertilization management;
- Making a software for the temporal determination of nutritional requirements;
- Field experimental tests to calibration and validation of the software.
The main activities of the project will consist in finding the parameters for the determination of the nutrient uptake curves, which will be used to make a software for calculate of nutrient recommendations that will be calibrated and validated in the field by means of comparison between the traditional fertilization and fertigation.
The use of the fertilization management tool rationalizing the mineral fertilizer could provide significant cost savings - for the least amount of input used, less environmental impact - to lower losses by leaching, improve productivity of crops - with greater synergy water / nutrients and, not least, provide a registration service of fertilization. The project results could be extended, not only to the irrigated crops with micro-irrigation methods for which the technique of fertigation is well-established, but also to those irrigated with sprinkler irrigation methods, made possible by the recent introduction of appropriate technologies for fertigation systems rain, while also allowing for the latter the fractionated distribution of the nutrients.
