Optimal nitrogen supply for crops has always been, and continues to be, one of the most critical decisions in agriculture. Today, it’s more challenging than ever, with economic pressures for higher yields often conflicting with ecological, political, and social responsibilities, making farm management decisions more complex. The N-Pilot® 2.0 helps resolve this challenge.

N-Pilot® 2.0 is a handheld, portable sensor that supports decision-making regarding when and how much fertilizer to apply. It works by measuring the nitrogen nutritional status of crops, assessing the chlorophyll content in plants, and evaluating biomass.

How Does It Work?

Using N-Pilot® 2.0 is simple: it takes just 20 seconds to perform measurements while moving through your field. The device measures the vegetation index, providing insights into crop development and nitrogen uptake. The need for nitrogen fertilization is calculated by comparing the readings to a reference area with excess fertilization.

N-Pilot® 2.0 offers a complete nitrogen fertilization recommendation for all top-dressing stages in cereals and calculates the total nitrogen requirement for oilseed rape after winter.

Key Benefits:

• Fast, reliable, and cost-effective nitrogen fertilization advice directly in the field.
• Controls and optimizes both yield and protein content in crops.
• No subscription fees or hidden costs.
• A robust and autonomous device, adaptable to regional conditions.
• Can be used by multiple users.
• Crop varieties are regularly updated by LAT Nitrogen.

With N-Pilot® 2.0, you can make more informed fertilization decisions, ensuring that your crops receive the right amount of nitrogen while balancing yield optimization with environmental responsibility.
