The research focuses on the detailed analysis of agricultural areas, made possible by satellite data (Sentinel 2) with a resolution of 10 x 10 metres. \u2018By using multi-year data sets and taking specific growth periods into account, we are able to achieve unrivalled precision in the creation of management zone maps,\u2019 explains Hermann Katz. Using a specially developed algorithm, soil parameters such as nutrient content and water availability are precisely recorded and visualised as homogeneous zones. This data enables farmers to manage their fields in a targeted and efficient manner.<\/p>\n
Another technological milestone of the POLICIES Institute is the elimination of boundary zone effects that occur when analysing remote sensing data. Faulty tiles, which often cover 10 x 10 metres, are smoothed by a special algorithm, allowing the fields to be used effectively right up to the edge. This is a considerable advantage, especially in the small-scale Styrian agricultural sector. The tool also makes it possible to determine representative points for soil samples, which additionally supports resource-saving cultivation.<\/p>\n
The new AI tool is seamlessly integrated into the MR AgrarPortal, which was developed by JOANNEUM RESEARCH in collaboration with the province of Styria. \u2018The MR AgrarPortal serves as a digital field catalogue and enables efficient data processing and analysis. By embedding the AI tool, it becomes the central data hub for agriculture in Styria,\u2019 emphasises Katz. The calculations are carried out in the background and the results are available to farmers as a shape file. In future, applications such as sowing with agricultural drones or RTK signalling services will also be added to the offering.<\/p>\n
The soil mapping tool is particularly impressive due to the optimisation of agricultural management in 3 central areas:<\/p>\n
\u2018With this digital tool, we are providing farmers with an effective means of saving time, money and resources,\u2019 explains Simone Schmiedtbauer<\/strong>, State Councillor for Agriculture. The development underlines the importance of digitalisation and sustainability in Styrian agriculture.<\/p>\n The involvement of the POLICIES Institute emphasises the importance of research for practical solutions. The close cooperation with Maschinenring and the Province of Styria has made it possible to develop a technology that offers not only economic but also ecological benefits.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Im Zentrum der Forschung steht die detaillierte Analyse landwirtschaftlicher Fl\u00e4chen, erm\u00f6glicht durch Satellitendaten (Sentinel 2) mit einer Aufl\u00f6sung von 10 x 10 Metern. \u201eDurch den Einsatz mehrj\u00e4hriger Datens\u00e4tze und die Ber\u00fccksichtigung spezifischer Wachstumsperioden schaffen wir eine bislang unerreichte Pr\u00e4zision bei der Erstellung von Managementzonenkarten\u201c, erkl\u00e4rt Hermann Katz.
