NIR Analysis in Real-Time during Harvesting

Azzini Giampietro & Luca Lavorazioni Agricole c/terzi is a company that can boast a large fleet of machines equipped with EVONIR sensors for NIR analysis in real-time during harvesting.

EVONIR technology optimize field operations

Azzini Giampietro & Luca Lavorazioni Agricole c/terzi is a Mantua-based agricultural contracting company with an extensive fleet of cutting-edge machinery.

To optimize nutrient application in the field while ensuring precision and compliance with agricultural regulations, the company needed a solution capable of providing real-time analysis of slurry composition. Additionally, they aimed to improve feed quality assessment during forage harvesting by accurately monitoring key nutritional parameters. Constantly seeking technological advancements to enhance efficiency and sustainability, the company has integrated EVONIR into its operations.

Recognizing the potential of EVONIR’s real-time Near-Infrared (NIR) analysis, the company decided to equip its advanced Varvaet slurry spreading machine with the sensor. After using it for real-time analysis of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium during slurry spreading in the field, the company decided to install the kit in order to take advantage of the benefits of using EVONIR on the forage harvester as well. Thanks to this solution, it is possible to remove the sensor from one piece of machinery and install it on another, to have it operative within a matter of minutes.
