Student Work
The Fertilizer Frontier
Public DepositedCurrent fertilizer-mixing processes cause damage to soil, crops, and water sources by ineffective use of water, fertilizer, and energy. NESS Fertigation has created a preliminary fertilizer-mixing prototype with reduced environmental impact. We improved this design by creating a prototype that is scalable to any size field, increases resource efficiency, and further reduces negative environmental impacts, proved through a Rapid Impact Assessment Matrix. A design/user’s manual was created for the prototype’s reproducibility, and recommendations were provided for future implementation.
