Abstract

Sensor systems are key components for sustainable crop farming with respect to different aspects, such as the combination of economical and ecological boundary conditions, automation, conservation of resources and inte­gration of human-machine interfaces. In order to obtain measurement data with high selectivities, image-based sensors for noise reduction are necessary, where data management as well as the development of intelligent algorithms are major tasks. The correlation of a single sensor to a single crop parameter does not make sense, a clear separation of raw data, the interpretation and the subsequent development of instructions is necessary. From a technological point of view new sensor and system technologies have a high potential for supporting solutions for the practice, in particular sensor data fusion and simulation technologies.
