Soil sensing data validation

As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.

This is the problem:

Akkerbouwers krijgen in hoog tempo de beschikking over meer data. Uit bodemsensoren (organische stof, pH, EC, bodemtextuur), gewassensoren (biomassa en stikstofopname), machine data (brandstofgebruik en bodemweerstand). Deze data vormen de basis voor managementmaatregelen. Voor veel van deze data geldt echter nog de vraag of de data klopt. Bodemsensing wordtd populair onder akkerbouwers, er zijn een paar types bodemsensoren op de markt. Onafhankelijk onderzoek is nodig om de data te valideren om als basis te kunnen dienen voor precisielandbouw maatregelen als plaatsspecifieke toepassing van organische stof, kalk, bodemherbiciden

This is the problem (summary in English):

Arable farmers rapidly get access to more data. Data from soil sensors (pH, organic matter, EC, soil texture), crop sensors (biomass, N-uptake), machine data (fuel consumption, soil resistance). These data are the basis for management decisions. For these data the quality still is an issue. Soil sensing is getting popular amongst arable farmers, there are different types of soil scanner on the market. Independent research is necessary to validate the data, as basis input for precision agriculture. Measures like site specific application of organic matter, lime, soil herbicides.
