ON Cerco - Understanding multi-angular reflectance patterns in a Cercospora beticola trial.

In 2024, the IfZ is looking for a M.Sc. student to explore the diurnal variability of leaf angle in a cercospora/sugar beet variety trial. The goal is to understand the dynamics of angular leaf movement throughout multiple days and link this to weather parameters. Different sugar beet cultivars, inoculated with Cercospora beticola and healthy plants will be assessed. Eventually, the results will be used to link them to aerial reflectance data and evaluate to what extent diurnal variability in LAD in affecting spectral signals.

Digital Technologies in Crop Production

Agricultural Sciences (M.Sc.), Georg-August-Universität Goettingen, Agricultural Sciences, 2023

In this module, students are introduced to selected digital technologies and their technical environment for use in crop production systems. In a second block of the course, the different sensors are in the foreground: environmental sensors / optical sensors such as RGB, multi- and hyperspectral technologies / 3D technologies, chlorophyll fluorescence and thermography / acoustic sensors and force measurement / remote sensing and satellites. In a third block of the lecture, practical applications are presented, some of which are already in use: Detection of the development of a crop and abiotic stress, case studies on the detection of plant diseases by means of optical sensors and on yield parameters and machine sensors with field applications (vehicle- or airborne). Applications in arable, fruit and vegetable production are considered.
