Proven in a field trial: €700+ in additional yield per hectare

An independent field trial conducted by Dr. Ludger Aldenhoff shows the extent to which Deepfield Connect Asparagus Monitoring can increase yields. The losses given are the result of improper foil management. One experiment served to investigate two adjacent beds. The foil in one bed was turned over a day earlier in response to an alert from Deepfield Connect Asparagus Monitoring. The table illustrates the effects of turning the foil over a day later in the bed that did not benefit from the Asparagus Monitoring alert.
