Ion sensors are devices that detect the concentration of a given ION in a solution. Its use contributes to improving the efficiency and quality of agricultural processes. These nitrogen ion sensors are useful for precision agriculture, a technique that seeks to optimize the use of resources and improve agricultural productivity.
By measuring the nitrogen potential in the soil, ion sensors make it possible to know the nutritional status of the soil and adjust fertilization according to the needs of each area.
This avoids contamination by excess or deficit of nitrogen, which improves environmental sustainability.
In addition, ion sensors can be combined with other sensors such as moisture, temperature or electrical conductivity sensors to obtain a more complete view of the soil. Ion sensors in agriculture are a technological tool that brings economic, ecological and social benefits.
