Site-specific fertilisation for improving resource use efficiency (D. Sacco)
This part of the course will deal with the potential of precision agriculture to improve fertiliser use efficiency. Main issues dealt during the seminar will face the following different concepts:
- Improving Nutrient Use efficiency in the agroecosystem
- Describing soil P and K content variability using geostatistical tools
- Application of variable rate fertilisation
- Using spectral measurements to tune nitrogen application
- Algorithm calibration for determining N requirement
Application of precision farming to weed management (F. Vidotto)
- Main traits of weed infestations and their spatial variability
- Conventional and Site-Specific Weed Management (SSWM)
- Examples of on-line (real-time) and off-line systems for SSWM
- Applications in agriculture and in non-agricultural areas
Chlorophyll fluorescence-based screening method in precision agriculture (A. Ferrandino)
- Description of the chlorophyll fluorescence-based screening method.
- The chlorophyll fluorescence-based screening method for proximal sensing of:
- Fruit quality (total soluble solids and polyphenolic content).
- Early detection (before symptom appearance) of pathogen attacks in leaves.
- Estimation of leaf N content.
- Mapping berry quality in the vineyard as a decision tool to manage harvest.
