Aqua C+: Development of a web-based information and advisory system to increase water use efficiency in orchards
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-BR-2016-LPPGWK01
Contract period: 01.01.2016
- 31.12.2018
Budget: 557,300 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: farming practice/activity, plant production and horticulture, water climate change
In Project AquaC+ effective data for water requirements of crops fruit cultivation will be made available. Existing models of irrigation control are systematically tested and practically validated in agricultural companies in Brandenburg. The effective, varying water demand in the phases of the plant and especially fruit development will be classified at six commercial producers and a reference system. In this case, pome, stone and soft fruit are studied as examples. The water balance is supplemented by the plant data. Operating and crop-specific data are merged into an internet-based decision matrix (information and advisory system) to improve water use efficiency and thus the economics of irrigation. The economic and resource-saving fruit production in Brandenburg is thus supported by AquaC+.
