The fruit farming sector in the border region is experiencing increasing competition from the south and Eastern Europe. To maintain the strong position of the fruit farming sector in Flanders and the Netherlands, an increase in profitability is required. Thanks to strongly evolved technology, precision agriculture can offer opportunities to deliver a competitive advantage in a realistic, affordable and sustainable way to the fruit farming sector. This way a maximum harvest with a qualitative product can be achieved with a minimal input of resources. 'Intelligenter fruit telen' aims to further fine-tune the precision fruit production, demonstrate it to the fruit grower and stimulate it. Three issues are being investigated: soil, crop development and harvest. In practice, different parameters are monitored and recorded for each theme. This is only possible with accurate data from measurements of various parts of the orchard at different times, generated by sensors on, for example, tractors or remote sensing via drones. In addition, on the basis of the generated data, the project wants to apply the benefits to trial plots of the Fruit Farming Experiment Center, Tree Nursery Fleuren (Baarlo) and pilot companies in Flanders and the Netherlands, in combination with an analysis of the added value and/or payback period for the fruit grower. An online tool is developed with which the fruit grower can consult map data of his own plots with information about crop development, (fruit) production, nutrients status, disease detection, soil structure, soil moisture content... in order to achieve extremely sustainable and energy-efficient fruit farming.
