The P-tester is a major step forward in our efforts to diagnose P deficiency in crops on time, to prevent crop yield reductions and optimize the way we utilize P as a limited natural ressource.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group alignfull\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SpectraCrop was founded in 2015 as a university-based &#8220;spin-out&#8221;\u00a0from the Department of Plant- and Environmental Sciences, University of Copenhagen.
