VALIDATION OF THE FUNCTIONALITY OF THE INTEGRATED SYSTEM

The phase started on 03.12.2022 and ended on 30.11.2023.

3.1 Experimental field management, AGROVET SA

  1. The management of the experimental field was carried out following the basic methodology, namely:
    1. Land Preparation and Arrangement:
      1. Minimum eligible soil analysis and arrangement of experimental areas.
      1. Delimitation and preparation of the land for selected crops.
    1. Experiment Implementation and Data Collection:
      1. Planting crops according to the plan of the experiment.
      1. Regular monitoring visits as well as test visits to the pilot sensor network.
    1. Data Analysis and Informed Decision Making:
      1. Processing collected data to extract relevant information.
      1. Making informed decisions and implementing necessary interventions based on the results achieved.
  2. Thus, the activity consisted of establishment and maintenance of experimental field (year III). Technology sheets were developed, planned production was established and differentiated application of inputs was carried out according to preliminary production recommendations corroborated with online data taken over and analyzed by the differentiated input application robot.
  3. Periodically, field visits were made to analyze the state of the crop. Image data, technical data related to the crop, as well as data related to soil and atmospheric parameters were taken. At the same time, the state of the crop was analyzed punctually during differentiated applications of inputs.

3.2 Testing and optimization of integrated system, IBA

  1. During the activity, the system analysis and the actual design of the monitoring and micro-feedback system for crop management on point components were made. Maps were built and analyzed to integrate spatial data with technical data of crops.
  2. Transmission tests were performed between the sensors in the field and the reception base in Bucharest.
    • Soil and air temperature and humidity sampling was performed through the pilot network of sensors.
    • Dedicated elements were built for hardware equipment through 3D printing.
    • The documentary material for the innovative INSAC AGRIS service has been developed

3.3 Dissemination of project results, at national level, AGROVET SA

  1. The project was disseminated at national level at the profile fair.

3.4 Management of the experimental field (autumn works), AGROVET SA

  1. Variable application maps of inputs were made, work was started to integrate chlorophyll data with spatial coordinates. Experiments were conducted to prepare samples for MRI analysis, being the most laborious step in the process.

3.5 Testing and optimization of integrated system (after data acquisition in autumn), IBA

  1. The elements that make up the sensor network were designed and built
  2. The necessary documentation for filing the patent was elaborated, with validation at industrial level

3.6 International dissemination, AGROVET SA

  • INSAC-AGRIS was disseminated in an international conference

Activity 3.7     patent application for integrated system, AGROVET SA

  1. Patent application filled and uploaded

Progress Review:

  1. Integrated input management system based on crop variability – field component tests (soil / atmospheric technical data functionality; GSM transmission elements between field component and reception component);
  2. Scientific report;
  3. Interactive web platform for communication with end-users – integration into the website www.insac-agris.eu
