Informationssystem Kleinräumige Bestandesführung Dürnast (Information System Site Specific Crop Management)

Nitrogen over supply is the most important problem in the high yielding agriculture of Germany today. The mapping approach is unable to guarantee appropriate predictions for N-dressings depending on regional weather conditions and site specific plant water stress situations. Realtime Approaches with map overlay may contribute to this problems, first results obtained in the "IKB-Dürnast-project" show a higher N-efficiency which is equivalent to an improved N-consumption by the plants. For on-farm use electronic communication will become a key position in data gathering and in on-the-go application systems. LBS offers the opportunity to realize such a system in a reasonable time within a standardized system environment.
