N2 Applied participated in the Precision Farming Days in the Netherlands, held at the Van den Borne Campus. The Precision Farming Days are a leading event focused on data-driven agriculture, smart farming techniques, and sustainable crop production. The event brings together farmers, researchers, and technology providers to explore practical innovations in precision agriculture.
During the event, N2 Applied showcased its plasma-based solution for processing organic fertilisers. At the Van den Borne potato farm, pig manure was treated with our plasma technology, converting it into nitrogen-enriched organic fertiliser known as NEO. This work is part of the Plasma4Agrifood project, where plasma technology is further developed to treat livestock manure without the use of chemicals.
Following challenges in 2024 due to wet conditions, new field trials in 2025 aim to validate the effectiveness of NEO fertilisation in potato cultivation. The trials compare crop growth and yield against conventional fertilisers.
These efforts demonstrate how plasma technology can contribute to more sustainable and efficient fertilisation, reducing reliance on synthetic fertilisers while lowering emissions.
