Project name: Sustainability of growing procedures in vegetable production using targeted applications and robotic platforms
Programme Title: Applied „ZEMĚ“ research programme of the Ministry of Agriculture for the period of 2017–2025
Registration number: QK23020097
Annotation: The aim of the project is the design and verification of modified technologies using a groundbased autonomous robotic carrier with additional adapters and a FarmBot device for growing selected types of vegetables. A partial aim of the project is the implementation of both platforms within the framework of technological procedures under CZ conditions. Important is the concentration on field and greenhouse cultures with the aim of supporting the reduction of material and energy inputs thanks to locally targeted interventions. The technologies will be focused on zonal tillage, the use of targeted applications of auxiliaries, bacteria and fungi, to support plant growth and health, support water infiltration, the use of auxiliary crops to intensity cultivation and reduce the agrochemicals.
Total eligible expenditure: 12,000,000 CZK
Physical implementation: 1/2023 – 12/2025
Participants: Mendel University in Brno; Faculty of Engineering CZU
