Objectives and competences

Students gain knowledge on precision agriculture. They get deeper knowledge about tools that we use during the whole season (digital yield cards, drones, etc.). They also get to know the possibilities of using aquired research data in agriculture.

Content (Syllabus outline)

• role of precision agriculture in food production • tools that were used using for precision agriculture: o from harvesting to seeding (digital yield maps) and o from seeding to harvesting (drones) • possibilities of using collected data in scientific research work in all agricultural branches

Learning and teaching methods
