This workshop will be a part of the first day of the ECPLF conference. Technical innovations have given new opportunities for precision livestock farming and agriculture. It has become a reality for the farmer to do on farm analysis, covering the complete production chain from soil, crop, feed and animal products e.g. milk. The benefits of these opportunities are multifold and can be used for improved management decisions as well as for quality control. > Precision Crop Protection, June 12th This workshop will address all aspects of the site-specific and timely detection and control of pests using modern technologies: Detection, identification and quantification of pests, weeds, pathogens (viruses, fungi, bacteria, nematodes), arthropod pests; remote sensing and its application; GIS, GPS and decision support systems; data management and maintenance; application technologies. State-of-the-art technologies in precision crop protection, visions as well as the current shortcomings may be presented and discussed in an informal atmosphere. The number of participants will be limited to 30 persons. For registration and to submit a presentation please contact: ec-oerke(a)uni-bonn.de See: http://www-conference.slu.se/ecpa/index.htm |
