Aqua C+: Development of a web-based information and advisory system to increase water use efficiency in orchards
In Project AquaC+ effective data for water requirements of crops fruit cultivation will be made available. Existing models of irrigation control are systematically tested and practically validated in agricultural companies in Brandenburg. The effective, varying water demand in the phases of the plant and especially fruit development will be classified at six commercial producers and a reference system. In this case, pome, stone and soft fruit are studied as examples. The water balance is supplemented by the plant data. Operating and crop-specific data are merged into an internet-based decision matrix (information and advisory system) to improve water use efficiency and thus the economics of irrigation. The economic and resource-saving fruit production in Brandenburg is thus supported by AquaC+.
In the AquaC+ project, a procedure was developed to calculate the daily water demand at the individual tree level. The basis for the daily water balance is climate data collected with the help of weather stations. For the precise calculation of the water balance, investigations of the local spatially-resolved soil properties (mapping of electrical soil conductivity, soil moisture measurements, soil texture analyses, drip images) were also carried out. In addition, plant data (vegetation index, stem diameter, fruit development phases, root water potential, rooting depth, leaf area and fruit quality) were recorded in the experimental plants. With the data, a procedure was developed with which farms can view the daily water balance and determine the water requirements of their fruit crops on a daily basis. The procedure is available as an online tool on the AquaC+ website (https://aquacplus.info/).
