1-10. (canceled)
A fertilizing system comprising:
- a fertilizer applicator;
- and
- a tester, wherein the tester includes
- a plurality of nitrous oxide sensors that each is configured to detect a nitrous oxide content in or on agricultural soil to be fertilized by application of fertilizer by the applicator and that each has a first transmitter, the transmitter being configured to transmit measuring data detected by the respective sensor;
- and
- a data processing device that includes a first receiver for receiving the measuring data.
A method for operating a fertilizing system that includes a fertilizer applicator and a tester, wherein the tester includes (a) a plurality of nitrous oxide sensors that each has a first transmitter, and (b) a data processing device that includes a first receiver, the method comprising:
- the nitrous oxide detecting a nitrous oxide content in or on a plurality of points of the agricultural soil to be fertilized by application of fertilizer by the applicator, wherein the transmitter is configured to transmit measuring data detected by the respective sensor and the first receiver is configured for receiving the transmitted measuring data;
- the data processing device determining one or more fertilizer amounts for the agricultural soil based on the measuring data.
