Effect of Precision Farming and Differential Nitrogen and Phosphorus Doses on Spring Wheat Yield in the Northern Kazakhstan Climatic Zone
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: HistoryOur study investigates the effects of precision farming and varying nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) fertilizer doses on spring wheat yield in Kostanay, Kazakhstan.By using agrochemical analysis and productivity zones, this research aims to optimize fertilizer use for better crop yields and offers practical recommendations for sustainable farming in similar climates.The study was conducted in 2023 at Lugovoye Farm on 215ha, and N and P fertilizers were tested on spring wheat.The best results were achieved with a 75 kg/ha ammophos application, resulting in a 3.0kg/ha increase in yield.Higher doses in productive zones and lower doses in less productive areas also yielded positive results.The findings highlight the potential of precision agriculture to increase productivity, sustainability, and food security, particularly in developing regions, to support economic growth and poverty reduction.
