Computer-aided fertilisation using the Nawozy-5 (Fertiliser-5) software

Abstract

The original program Nawozy-5 is an application supporting mineral fertilisation. It is intended for small farms that are not equipped with facilities enabling application of precision agriculture and do not use any commercial software for farm management support. Computational algorithms in the program Nawozy-5 make use of the nutrient balance method. The application calculates requirement for nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium and sulphur and then selects particular fertilisers and calculates their quantities. The program is free of charge and available online on the author’s website www.cupial.mcpk.net .
