About Us
Nitrogen (N) is an important element required in rice production. Application of N fertilizer in split doses at critical growth stages during the growing season fulfils the requirement of the crop’s nitrogen.
To monitor and determine the leaf N content and record real time N fertilizer requirements to synchronize the demand and supply of the rice crops, a smart android based application for leaf color monitoring and N recommendation suitable for different rice ecologies has been developed by ICAR-National Rice Research Institute in joint collaboration with Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research, Norway under RESILIENCE project.
Features
Easy to use application
N fertilizer doses as per the crop requirements at right time and right dose
Nitrozen fertilizer recommenation system based on Leaf Colour Analysis
Direct recommendation in terms of urea
User Instructions
- Images of ten fully expanded healthy leaves should be taken with white background by placing a white sheet on the back of the leaf.
- The images should be captured from a distance of 15-20cm. All the readings should be taken from 8-10 AM in the morning by the same person using an Android smartphone.
- The images should be checked for its clarity with non blur, disease free, clean background.
- Then the leaves are cropped and RGB values are extracted.
- These RGB values are converted into pantones and then differentiated into four categories.
- The N recommendation system is made based on these color categories.
