The objective of this PhD project is to develop scientifically proven algorithms to be incorporated into a Decision Support System to calculate a fertilisation management plan. The study will focus on cereal crop systems and will consist of the following workflow:

1) During the first year, the long-term dynamics of N mineralisation from soil organic matter  and its relationship to climate and soil variables will be studied. This will be done analysing data from a long-term experiment located in NW Italy.

2) During the second year, the spatial variability of N balace at the field scale during the crop growing season will be studied. This objective will be pursued through the collection and analysis of data from a field experiment that applies precision agriculture in central Denmark.

3) During the third year, a survey of digital tools used for the nutrient management plan will be conducted. This work will involve TUdi project partners in Europe, China and New Zealand.
