The conference will present the results of experimental applications with smart agriculture systems for the management of irrigation and crop protection in potato cultivation. Experimental applications have been made both by researchers in controlled production conditions and in potato crops in which producers participated following their usual cultivation practices.

Smart Agriculture combines modern technologies, sensors and data to optimize existing agricultural operations, reducing risk while increasing the quality and yield of agricultural products. In addition, it gives new and innovative possibilities to farmers such as monitoring data about their field in real time for immediate and effective decision making.
