Description of the research activity:

Research activities to be carried out as part of the development of test protocols for agricultural machinery for the purposes of product certification, with a particular focus on their environmental, energy and operational performance. A significant focus will be on defining new methodologies for measuring the environmental impacts arising from the use of sprayers in agricultural treatments. The methodologies will be based on the use of laboratory facilities (WindTunnel) to ensure adequate repeatability in the tests. Energy performance will concern the electrification of field processes with improved digital control of the equipment. This will also include automated operational monitoring applications with autonomous recognition of the activities actually carried out in the field. The activities will be conducted at the unibz Agroforestry Innovation Laboratory (NOI Techpark-BZ) with the participation of manufacturers in the sector.
