Short description
Apple orchards in Poland, focusing on the solution with drones and soil sensors. In the cultivation of apples and pears, drone technologies are increasing. The translation of drone data to a practical treatment in the field is a major challenge. Through this TC, data will be collected making prescription maps for applications such as tree specific root pruning and irrigation service based on soil sensors, weather forecast and soil properties. Farmers are involved in the development of new farm-based practical solutions, promoting to each other the new results.
Major goals
Orchard management on tree level, reducing the use of water, fertilizers, and crop protection
