Lectures and industrial presentations 

Ecomomically and ecologically aspects demand a site specific plant production. The information gathered is applied to the machines and processes in precision farming.

Geoinformation systems (GIS) on farm in combination with GNSS (GPS..) in field are standard procedures beinig used since years. New approaches in regard to field and site management are used.

1. Principles of precision planting, 2. Applied processes, Relevant hard- and software components, 4. Working with system components on research farms, 5. Generating in- and output data sets, 6. Apply connectivity among systems and components, 7. Analysis of action packages - economically

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").
