NRate.farm is an independently developed decision tool for economically optimised nitrogen fertilization in German arable farming. The tool was created to meet the need for a freely accessible calculator that grounds fertilization recommendations not just agronomically but also in farm economics — accounting for current input prices, producer prices, and the requirements of the German Fertilization Regulation (Düngeverordnung, DüV).

All articles on NRate.farm are written by Nelson Pinheiro. The content is based on published agronomic data, official advisory publications from the German Landwirtschaftskammern, and the current Düngeverordnung. The goal is to make relevant nitrogen management knowledge accessible and understandable for every farmer.

NRate.farm is not a commercial consultancy and does not replace individual professional advice. For binding fertilization guidance, we recommend contacting your regional Landwirtschaftskammer or a certified crop nutrition advisor.
