WP5: Soft and biodegradable sensing technologies for precision soil & crop management
Lead: WUR
Description: Recent droughts and intense rainfall in the Netherlands has raised a concern how to optimize water use in potato production, and it thus complicates the complexity in nitrogen (N) management. In the Greensensors project, WP5 aims at deploying the proposed green sensing system for smart monitoring of soil moisture and N status. Ultimately, it will provide (i) a complete tailor-made protocol of using green sensors for monitoring soil moisture and N status at a arable cropping system, (ii) an automated and precise system of installing/positioning green sensor across potato fields, (iii) a demonstrated proof of green sensors application for sustainable soil and crop monitoring.
