DEV Soil Fertility Detection and Automatic Fertilization Robot
This product is designed to help farmers control fertilizer use. More than 70% of farms in the world are small family farms of no more than 1 hectare. Small-farm farmers rely mostly on experience in the use of chemical fertilizers and the demand for crops, which often leads to overuse of chemical fertilizers, resulting in land pollution and low crop yields. The Dev small-farm robot can help farmers quickly detect the Nitrogen-Phosphorous-Potassium (NPK) content of the land, calculate the total required amount of fertilizer and the average amount of fertilizer according to the demand of crops, and then automatically fertilize the crops. Precise fertilization by robots can reduce soil pollution and help farmers save on fertilizer costs.
