Overall objective of the project

Scope of the project is the development of processes and the identification of research gaps to achieve the goal of sustainable intensification in agricultural systems. For this purpose agronomic approaches, digitalization as well as automation of agricultural machineries will be used to increase the efficiency of cropping systems. In this context, field trials are carried out at different experimental sites of the Julius Kühn-Institute, to investigate the impact of a uniform seed pattern on cereals, to find adapted and well performing cultivars and to test the technical implementation of a uniform sowing pattern with a precision seed drill.
