In the German LL, our focus lies on developing and establishing an educational program on digital technologies in crop production, and not so much on testing or implementing a specific technology. For process modelling, we have been discussing with our stakeholders on technology (Stenon Farmlab), which has also been considered in our outreach and education activities. The Stenon FarmLab is an integrated hardware and software solution for real-time soil analysis. The system consists of several components. These include a measuring device, which is equipped with various optical, electrical and climate sensors. The measuring device can be connected to an internet-enabled end device (e.g. smartphone) via WiFi and also uses an integrated GPS module for self-localisation. Measurement data collected is then transferred to a cloud solution where it is processed on-demand. The developed AI then calculates the individual contents of the following parameters from the sensor measurement data: NO3, Nmin, Ntotal, PO4, K, Mg, Corg, soil moisture, pH, soil temperature and soil texture. Once the calculation is complete, the results are saved and assigned to an user account and ready for further use to support the fertilization process of the farm."
