Essential
contributions to improve the efficiency of crop production and reduce the
environmental impact are possible by using sufficient process and
environment relevant information.
Sensors
for measuring crop and soil parameters are developed or adapted to acquire
the information with acceptable costs. Questions of technological
incorporation are discussed before works for sensor development begin.
The
research results in sensor developments are directly used for the site
specific crop management (fertilisation and crop protection). The
developed sensors are tested in the production process under practical
conditions and are assed according of resulting effects.
For
the competitiveness of sensor based production processes effective
solutions for data acquisition and use are necessary, increasingly under
aspects of food safety.
