This year, Jan Lukas Wenzel, a representative of the working group and the AgriSens-DEMMIN 4.0 project, was a guest at the 55th Technical Conference of the German Agricultural Society at the Congress Centre in Hanover. The event is aimed specifically at representatives from the experimental sector to find out about new technical developments – particularly in relation to digitalisation and automation – in field trials. Over 950 participants from all over Germany and neighbouring countries attended and found not only technical innovations, but also software solutions and other useful aids for field work.
As part of the lecture block, Jan Lukas Wenzel was able to present current work from use case 4 Irrigation. Using two examples from the field of agricultural irrigation management for area-based estimation of soil moisture and yield modelling of potatoes, the potential of data obtained from on-farm and scientific exact trials as well as other freely available data sources for digitalisation in agriculture and efficient and resource-saving irrigation management was demonstrated.
