What was the challenge/problem addressed?

Through the project “Optimization of irrigation and fertilization system in table olive crops using innovative precision agriculture methods” we are aiming to the optimizations of the production of olive crops. Our goal is to develop a comprehensive production protocol for olive trees and their crops. Collaborating with partners is crucial as they bring specific expertise to the project, contributing significantly to the achievement of our overall objective.

Comment as-tu résolu le problème?

We are employing precision agriculture techniques in an olive oil tree orchard, aiming to determine the optimal fertilization and irrigation methods for achieving the highest production yield. Through the collection of soil data and NDVI images obtained from drone flights, we are analyzing the correlation between results from two crop periods. The ultimate goal is to develop a production protocol specifically tailored for optimizing the cultivation of olive crops.

Ce qui est innovant dans votre cas pratique?

The application of innovative precision agriculture methods is a key aspect in our specific scenario. Given the significance of olive trees for Greece, employing novel techniques to enhance production will be beneficial.

Quels sont les facteurs de succès pour résoudre le problème?

The cooperation between the partners and the collection of data from different sources and across the crop period.
