Background

The project draws on ways in which farmers can significantly increase their production of native leafy greens while using a smaller amount of fertilizer at the right time. The project utilises observations to promote a microdosing technique that combines four principles: choosing the right fertilizer, applying it at the right date, applying it to the right place for the roots, and dosing the required amount according to the plant's needs.
