Pesticide Application Manager - Operational safety of background services, system tests and practical guide (PAM)

Project


Project code: JKI-SF-08-1237
Contract period: 01.07.2017 - 31.08.2018

PAM (pesticide application manager) is a decision support system for crop protection measures designating field- and product-specific buffer zone regulations in machine-readable application maps. Thereby PAM supports the compliance with buffer zone regulations and improves driving comfort by automatically switching off the plant protection sprayer in foreland/peripheral field areas. Besides these advantages for users, the tool generates positive environmental effects due to reduced pesticide residues. PAM is the result of an eponymous innovation project, in the scope of which a demonstrator was developed. On the basis of positive feedback the tool received from agriculture, science and industry, an introduction to market and practical use is intended. Consequently, in the follow-up project the previous demonstrator will be extended to become a prototype which is suitable for practical use regarding robustness, reliability and operator convenience.
