Abstract: 
The demands on land management are constantly increasing, so it is necessary to increase fertilizer efficiency. To achieve this, the entire crop management process, from sowing to harvesting, should be tailored to the potential of the soil. Precision farming (PL) tools are ideally suited for this. A comprehensive introduction of PL technologies in practice has so far failed to materialize for various reasons. The aim of this project is to combine selected PL methods into a cultivation method and to test it for sustainability, cost-effectiveness and manageability.
