Yesterday's “Abendschau” broadcast (October 14, 2025) featured a report on the Smartfield project, which was conceived by Prof. Asseng together with doctoral student Malte von Bloh.
As part of Smartfield, an AI algorithm has been developed that can make all decisions relating to crop management (when to sow, how much fertilizer to use, when to harvest, etc.). Following initial satisfactory test cases this year, the first farmers are now testing this technology.
