It is really important to get the stakeholders involved in the entire process. It’s not about us solving their problem, it’s our joint problem that we need to jointly research in the knowledge that there are no direct solutions.” Multi- disciplinarity Collaborative process Agile development

Nov. 2018 portal where maps can be ordered. Variable rate herbicide use map - Validation in 2016 and 2017. May 2018 portal where maps can be ordered. Quality by better plant distribution Reduction pesticide use Core Product Features Variable Rate Application Map Service Customer & Provider Uses soil maps and agronomic knowledge to create crop management task map based on variability in soil characteristics like organic matter and/or clay content, water storage capacity, tramlines, shade, etc.. Smart application of resources: seeds, pesticides, fertilizers +4% +5% -23% Better distribution of plants leads to +5% kilos and +5% better quality (more potatoes in desired size). Taking soil characteristics for weed growth into account: -23% less herbicide and +2% more yield. Enriching canopy index with soil characteristics lead to -10% less additional N fertilizer (2nd phase). These values derive from comparison of a standard farm’s performance prior to the installation of our system and after. Reduction fertilizer use -10% Product Factsheet Existing variable rate maps are often based on tweaking expert judgement and lack a certain level of precision in tasking / lack of validation.

Editor's Notes
- We have already worked on this in several main project lines, that are now also coming together, including a new area on rural economies
- SmartAgriHubs has a quite complex global picture and WP2 has to handle 3 perspectives. The objective of WP2 is to analyse these dimensions and try to identify where and how to place the open calls. Where would they have the biggest impact? It’s not possible to have one open call in each RC or in each sector. We have to choose. To maximise impact and success, our choices have to surgical.
