| Basic Science Apply basic principles of spatial variability for crop and soil properties in selected areas. Applied Science and Technology Knowledge of relevant sensor technologies for data acquisition. Apply sensors to measure crop and soil properties. Apply principles from geo-statistics to determine and analyse the spatial variability of crop and soil properties and the demands for optimisation of growth conditions. Understand strategies and processes to address heterogeneity by using variable rate technology (application maps). Knowledge of new technologies including robotic systems for precision soil and plant monitoring and treating. Ethics&Values Awareness of potential environmental impacts associated with spatial variable application of agricultural fertilisers and chemicals. | |||||||||||||||
| Kursets målsætning | |||||||||||||||
| The cource provides the specified skills on methodologies of spatial variable crop production, including technologies for monitoring of conditions, decision on treatments and associated field operations down to the scale of individual plants. | |||||||||||||||
| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||
| Course subjects are: Positioning systems (e.g. GPS), geographic information systems (GIS), geostatistics, sensor systems for crop and soil assessment, yield logging and mapping, tractor implement systems with variable rate application, autonomous vehicles and robots and crop management. This course is considered as important for students seeking jobs with responsibilities of agricultural management in extension, education, manufacturing, sale, development, testing and research. The course is adapted to fit into the KVL semester package "Biosystem Engineering and Precision Farming" | |||||||||||||||
| Undervisningsform | |||||||||||||||
| Central parts of the course subjects are introduced during lectures and exercises. Problem solving skills are gained in the second half of the course during the project period | |||||||||||||||
