Development of management support systems

This line refers to the development of systems to support agromanagement practices. Systems are based on the integration of different technologies, like simulation models, smart apps, satellite imagery.

Examples of these systems deal (i) with the development of early warning services supporting agrochemical application in case of risk of infection from fungal pathogens, and (ii) with the development of systems to support variable-rate top-dressing nitrogen fertilization.
