Optimised Fertilising Management Interoperable Agricultural Service Based Soil Sensing
Optimised Fertilising Management Interoperable Agricultural Service Based Soil Sensing
Total cost € 3 890 202.00 EU contribution € 3 112 162.00 Funding Programme CAP 2023-2027

The project develops a software package for determining fertiliser requirements, including remote sensing and weather data and soil moisture. It contains new features for accurate humus determination and assessment. For textur mapping, a sensor prototype is functionally expanded and upgraded to the functional pattern. A new workflow for soil sampling avoids media breaks and information losses. A cloud-based IT system environment ensures the interplay of all components with operational systems and a new data processing app. The constellation of the OG allows all components to be developed and validated up to real use, TRL 7-8. Efficient nutrient management helps Brandenburg to increase yields, reduce costs and reduce nutrient losses.
