| Summary of the project: |
| Problems to be solved: -In accordance with EU guidelines, the use of MML and AAL must be reduced by 50% while maintaining productivity. -Under field conditions, it is not possible to continuously monitor changes in nutrients in the soil. -Even in climate-controlled conditions, it is not possible to continuously monitor fluctuations in the uptake of each nutrient. -In order to make MI-based decisions, there is no data on the correlation between temperature, soil properties, light intensity, nutrient solutions, etc. and plant development. -Climate change encourages the protection of crops against periods of drought. -Readiness to control nitrate content in drainage water and to make timely adjustments to fertiliser use and pollution reduction. |
