Development, test, and implementation of a precision farming system to protect valuable objects below cultivated land
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-SA-2015-LPPGSB02
Contract period: 01.01.2015
- 31.12.2017
Budget: 117,000 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: farming practice/activity, plant production and horticulture, pest/disease control
In some areas we find objects of value below cultivated land (like archaeological monuments). To protect these objects cultivation has to be restricted. Aim of the project is to develop, test and implement a precision farming system or technique that automatically and precisely regulates the cultivation depth (or even stops cultivation if necessary) so that valuable objects below the surface are saved from destruction. In addition the operational group will test the usability of the developed system for fertilization and plant protection purposes. To locate valuable objects in the field GIS data or Shapefiles will be used. A close collaboration between advisers and farmers and a series of field trials are necessary to obtain a usable and reliable system.
