University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers developed low-cost printed electrochemical sensors for real-time nitrate monitoring in soil, aiding farmers in nutrient management and groundwater protection.

University of Wisconsin-Madison engineers developed low-cost printed electrochemical sensors, enabling real-time, continuous monitoring of nitrate in soil. These sensors can help farmers make better nutrient management decisions, potentially leading to significant cost savings by using less fertilizer. The sensors also aid in preventing excess nitrate from leaching into groundwater.
