Once again, Kamień Śląski hosted an international group of practitioners, scientists and specialists in the agro industry. The event, organized by Jerzy Koronczok from Agrocom Polska and Claas Polska, presented the latest, innovative methods of agricultural production.
The Digital Agriculture Conference is two intensive days packed with knowledge. The speakers who took part in the presentations were farm practitioners, representatives of agricultural companies and scientists, also from foreign universities.
Machine digitization
Dr. Eng. talked about the contribution of technology 4.0 to agriculture. Jacek Sudlarski at the opening lecture of the meeting. Specialists from Claas, Agroas and Horsch talked about digital solutions, both for terminals in machines and for computers in the office or telephones. One of them was Class Connect, a machine management platform, Spot Spraying – a Horsch point weed control system, and new possibilities in Claas Cemis terminals and Precision Plantin intelligent sowing technologies.
Robotization and autonomy
The organizer, Jerzy Kronczok, talked about the development of robotization and presented, among others: innovations that appeared at Agritechnica in Hannover, which determine the shape of agriculture of the future.
In addition to the Polish Agri Jacobus – a robot for laser weed removal, the WeLASER project was presented with similar solutions. Representatives of the Regional Directorate of State Forests in Piła commented on the practical use of the Naio robot in forestry production.
The topic of the development of robotization was complemented by a lecture by Dr. Eng. Stanisław Minta o Artificial intelligence and its possible applications in agriculture and security.
Soil is also being digitized
Some of the lectures were devoted to soil health and modern methods of recognizing its properties using scanners and mobile field laboratories.
The speakers touched on issues such as optimization of sowing and fertilization in real time using an innovative soil scanner, plant fertilization based on artificial intelligence and machine learning, and the use of geophysical methods to assess the physical properties of the soil.
Drones in biological plant protection
Prof. talked about the prospects of biological protection methods using UAVs on the example of fighting the European corn borer. Ph.D. engineer Małgorzata Bzowska-Bakalarz. Practical application and field experiments were presented by Paweł Domeracki from Biocare, talking about the issues of applying buckwheat using drones.
Farms
Representatives of the Kombinat Rolny Kietrz farm talked about the practical use of agriculture 4.0 and 5.0 solutions, exchanging knowledge from the last two years on the experience of variable amounts of sowing sugar beet seeds.
Bartłomiej Grabowski talked about the use of AI in corn cultivation in the presentation “My precise corn”.
Andreas Stelzer, a farmer from Germany, talked about the machines, specifically the innovative TX 15.2 tank in the Xerion tractor for growing, sowing and caring for plants used on the farm.
The future of agriculture
Part of the meeting was devoted not only to innovative solutions in agricultural technology, but also to ecological trends in precision agriculture and intelligent plant nutrition.
What was particularly important at the conference were issues related to the future of agricultural production, as well as the importance of exchanging knowledge, experiences and focusing on young people who will soon work in agriculture. One of such educational initiatives is the Polish Cup of Secondary Schools in Precision Agriculture. The main organizers – Dr. Eng. – talked about the course and results of the second edition. Jerzy Koronczok Agrocom Polska and Dr. Eng. Roman Bathelt Claas Polska.
