For many advisors, the challenge is turning complex agronomy into clear, actionable advice for farmers. Tools exist, from sap analysis to field meters, but they often fall short in speed, reliability, or scope.
That’s what led Ludovic Durand, Technical Sales Advisor at SAS Tijou (France), to Nutriscope™. After first encountering the handheld scanner in 2024, he quickly saw its potential to connect science with practical decision-making in the field.
Today, Nutriscope is part of his daily advisory work, helping him combine Redox and mineral insights to guide farmers with precision and responsibility.
Nutriscope is not about approximation, it’s about farming with precision and responsibility.
Ludovic Durand, Technical Sales Advisor, SAS Tijou
Who are you, Ludovic?
My name is Ludovic Durand, I’m a Technical Sales Advisor at SAS Tijou. My career path has led me toward an agriculture that respects natural balances — where every intervention has meaning. Nutriscope fits perfectly into this approach, and today it’s part of my daily work with farmers.
How did you discover Nutriscope?
I first discovered it in spring 2024 while working at Vertal, a company already deeply engaged in natural farming. I met the Senseen team at a professional fair and was intrigued right away. Nutriscope is like a blood test for plants: it reveals needs, deficiencies, and balances.
Since joining SAS Tijou, I equipped myself again with the Nutriscope leaf clamp, the mineral subscription, and access to the portal. This combination allows me to collect precise data and share it directly with farmers, explaining why we apply certain products, and justifying interventions with clear data. It’s a real decision-support tool.
What kind of approach does this bring to your work?
What I like is the holistic vision: soil feeds the plant, the plant feeds the animal, the animal feeds humans. By optimizing the first link in the chain, we improve everything else.
I mainly use Nutriscope on wheat, rapeseed, and corn, both preventively, to anticipate needs, and as a control, to verify the effectiveness of inputs. Some farmers are skeptical at first, but once they see the results and the relevance of the analyses, their perception changes.
Why are Redox and minerals important?
At Vertal, we had been talking about Redox and bioelectronics for years, so I was already familiar. Minerals and trace elements are newer to me, but Nutriscope helps me see how each element has a role to play. It sharpens my advice and lets me offer more tailored solutions.
How does Nutriscope compare to other tools?
I used the Husson kit, the N-Tester, and sap analyses before. They have their merits, but I find Nutriscope to be more reliable, complete, and coherent. Yes, taking 15 measurements takes a little time, but it’s far more representative than a single sample.
Would you recommend Nutriscope?
Absolutely. It’s an innovative tool for farmers who want to understand and anticipate — those who want to be connected to the agriculture of tomorrow. It helps deliver exactly what the plant needs, when it needs it.
So in one sentence?
Nutriscope is an innovative tool, the tool of tomorrow. It helps us respond to today’s agricultural challenges with precision and responsibility. Not approximation, but a way of working that respects life, optimizes resources, and builds a more sustainable agriculture.”
