An On-Farm Communication System for Precision Farming with Nitrogen Real-Time Application

Precision farming has become a main focus of worldwide agricultural research. Mainly "mapping approaches" are investigated. "Real-time" application technology can be seen in first approaches. Solutions with standardized communication for a cheap realization on the farm are mentioned only theoreticly, although with the Agricultural Bus System LBS a standardized basis technology is available. The research group "Information Systems Precision Farming Duernast" IKB-Duemast has the aim to realize an integrated approach of "realtime application with map overlay" based on LBS in a data collection and analysis concept for farms. The project has startet in September 1998 and will deliver first results at the end of 1999.      «
