Tridge summary

The Board has initiated research and technology transfer actions to address the challenges threatening the dehesa system, in collaboration with Ifapa and other centers. The project aims to estimate pasture production and quality, predict acorn production, and apply intelligent pastural management using advanced technologies like GPS, remote sensors, and meteorological information. The project also involves using data from Sentinels satellites and flying manned and drone flights in collaborating farms to monitor the phenological cycle of holm oak and grass. An artificial vision algorithm is being developed to count acorns from photographs. Preliminary results include the validation and application of a pasture production model, determination of pasture phenology indicators from satellite images, thermal image monitoring for drought, and initial results in automatic acorn counting.

SEVILLA, Aug 1 (EUROPA PRESS) - In a press release, the Board informs that these Ifapa research and technology transfer actions are carried out by the Study Center for the Dehesa de Hinojosa del Duque and by researchers from the Center Alameda del Obispo, of Córdoba. The Ministry of Agriculture has been working on the need for technology, training and innovation to address the main problems that threaten the continuity of the dehesa system, attributing to Ifapa the responsibility of promoting, promoting and coordinating the lines of work that allow the objectives of conservation and integral management of this ecosystem. Observation through high technologies and field work allow estimating the production and quality of the pasture and predicting the production of acorn, the main livestock food in the pasture. It is about estimating the production and quality of pastures in dehesa by integrating growth models, remote sensors, meteorological information and measurements in the ...
