Metallic Nitride Microfluidic e-Tongue: A Novel Selective Approach for the Detection of Macronutrients in Soil.

ABSTRACT: The growing global demand for food requires optimizing agricultural practices and more rational use of natural resources without expanding cropping areas. Precision agriculture (PA) tools are essential for accurately applying fertilizers and herbicides, reducing costs, and avoiding environmental impacts. Standard macronutrient mapping methods are costly and time-consuming, limiting denser sampling collection in the field. Consequently, devices employing new materials with specific properties matching sensitivity to agricultural nutrients, robustness to face intensive climatic variations, and economical manufacturing viability are mandatory. In this sense, microfluidic impedimetric e-tongues have emerged as practical tools in PA due to their high sensitivity, adaptability, affordability, an
