Growing wild carrots at the ZALF in Müncheberg

Species-rich grassland is recorded by drone flights

In the DAKIS sub-project 5 (DAKIS implementation), new, innovative cultivation methods are being tested using smart farming technologies, which make it possible to achieve different production goals within a usable area, small-scale and site-specific. On a permanent grassland area in Paulinenaue, for example, it is being investigated how well the surface characteristics can be mapped using drone flights and satellite images. Particular attention is paid to the recording of plant species that indicate a particular biodiversity. For this purpose, indicator species (including wild carrots) for species-rich grassland in the ZALF greenhouse in Müncheberg are currently used in order to later apply them specifically to the area and thus collect training images for the software for plant recognition.
