Project Title

Implementation and further development of an online decision-support-system for an efficient irrigation scheduling of open field vegetable production

Project description

The irrigation scheduling system Geisenheimer Irrigation Scheduling (GS) for vegetable crops is to be transferred into a practice-oriented decision support system (DSS) in order to enable an efficient sustainable and ecologicallly sound irrigation scheduling for open field vegetable production. The tool intends to support vegetable farms in making easy and objective decisions concerning an economical and resource-efficient irrigation. The project aims to strengthen the competitiveness of German vegetable producers in the biggest open field vegetable production region (Hessia Reed / Vorderpflaz). The compliance with the EU Water Directives, EU Nitrates Directive and the German fertiliser ordinance is meant to be facilitated with the DSS. Furthermore, it aims to provide a big contribution to a sustainable and resource-efficient open fiel vegetable production. The operational group (OG) plans to test and further develop the prototype GS-Mobile which is a digital assistance management system . The smartphone-compatible application offers the opportunity to control the actual water status from any internet-enabled terminal and to get irrigation recommendations in time.
