Water Protection
A gold standard module enabling you to manage water quality on your farm.
This module enables you to evaluate the impact of your farming practices on your water protection objectives, assess your nitrogen uptake efficiency, and plan the most effective management interventions to protect water courses and increase your return on nitrogen investments.
Easy to use
Requires minimal data entry as Sandy collects all necessary data for the calculations from your farm management systems.
Intuitive and simple user interface.
Credible & scientific
Implements a field and farm-scale nitrate leaching and nitrogen uptake modelling framework in line with the latest European scientific peer-reviewed publications.
The model has been adopted by farmers successfully across Europe.
Applicable to all major farming systems and enterprises
The model is designed to represent all major crops and understand the characteristics of soil and fertiliser.
Applicable to both conventional and organic farming systems.
Tool supports farmer decision making
Integrates soil, crop, fertiliser, water dynamics, organic matter, and weather modules into one management information tool.
Displays the impact of previous crops and management practices on nitrate leaching, crop nitrogen uptake efficiency (NUpE) and soil organic matter.
Assesses the financial impact of the previous practices.
Ensures you meet the compliance requirements of Nitrate Vulnerable Zones NVZ at all times.
Provide tailored solutions to protect water and get a better return on investment of nitrogen inputs
Allows farmers to perform scenario analysis and assess the impact of new practices.
Encourages farmers to consider the long-term impact on soil processes due to crop rotation and fertiliser applications.
