in-situ

English translation: in situ

Spanish term or phrase: in-situ
Estoy traduciendo un video al inglès sobre diferentes tipos de suelo de viñedos

Esto nos va a permitir poder aplicar in-situ los fertilizantes y todos los nutrientes necesarios y también podemos regular la disponibilidad de agua por parte de la planta para lograr el objetivo que buscamos.

Yo lo dejaría "in-situ", pero no encuentro fuentes confiables

Gracias por la ayuda

Explanation:
No hyphen required as far as I'm concerned, but please yourself. In situ is perfectly good English.

FWIW, a Google search for "Fertilizers applied in situ "gets over 2 million hits. Even with the UK English spelling, ""Fertilisers applied in situ " it gets half 1 million.
Trust me, I'm a translator.
