FUTURE PROJECTS

IDTITLEDESCRIPTIONHS FOCUS AREAPROPOSALSTUDENT PROJECT
I024PREDICTING FOLAIR DISEASE OCCURANCE IN MANY CROPS USING DIGITAL SPORE MONITORING AND DIGITAL SHADOW MODELLINGModelling foliar fungal disease activity using the data from a network of digital sensors, supplemented with manual observations.Digitalisation of agriculture, ForecastingProposalYes
I025DIGITAL DEMOSFocusing on a specific agronomic decision, or a particular metric, run a demonstration of the available digital solutions. Needs a stong communication aspect.Digitalisation of agricultureProposalYes
I026REAL DIGITAL TRANSFORMATIONSWorking with a farmer, work with them through the digitalisation of an aspect of their enterprise. This is more a social science project.Digitalisation of agricultureProposalYes
I027AGRICULTURAL DIGITAL TWINSWorking on one specific agronomic decision at a time, build a Digital Twin of the relevant system as a 2D map, with a resolution of 10 x 10 or 20 x 20 meters.
There are also some ideas that involve 3D modelling, and CFD.
Get in touch for the list of layers / models.
Digitalisation of agricultureProposalYes

A list of ideas from my time at NBR that might still be relevant.

TITLEDESCRIPTIONNBRs STRATEGYPROPOSALSTUDENT PROJECT
PREDICTING INSECT POPULATIONS USING DIGITAL INSECT MONITORING AND DIGITAL SHADOW MODELLINGModelling insect populations using the data from our monitoring network, supplemented with near real-time digital insect identification.Digitalisation of agricultureProposalNot yet developed
DIGITALISATION OF SWEDISH SUGAR BEET INDUSTRYA proposal for a post-doc. Large, 2.5 year full time, project.Digitalisation of agriculture
AIRFLOW IN SUGAR BEET CLAMPSCollection of data on airflow within sugar beet clamps, with different cover types. For use in model validation.Harvest and Storage
SENSOR FARMInstall the offering of useful sensors at Ädelholm, and possibly other farms, to validate their usefulness in Digitalisation of agriculture.Digitalisation of agriculture
STOILS v2Expand the Stoils (NBR640) project to:
– include all of COBRI.
– test other approaches such as continual biological activity monitoring
Harvest and StorageProposal (FORMAS)
FOAM FROST PROTECTION v1Test a foam product available to viticulturalists for frost protection on sugar beet clamps – laboratory tests (v2 would be field tests).Harvest and Storage
QUALITY REVIEWA survey of Quality related issues, to guide future work. This includes examining trends on the non-sucrose concentration parameters from NBR variety trials, but also a broad review of literature and discussions with key stakeholders.Growing to Quality.
