The University of Murcia today at the Convalescence a project in collaboration with a consortium of companies in the region, aims to control and optimize the parameters that influence the production of horticultural crops consumption so as to maximize performance productive.
The research group Applied Engineering, University of Murcia, directed by Professors Humberto Martínez Barberá and J. Felix
Clemente Garcia, provide the technological innovations of this project which seeks to increase productivity, and to apply Information Technology and Communications (ICT) to help farmers in making decisions.
Computer systems and electronic devices will be designed to achieve optimal temperature and humidity for the development of crops covered, as will be sought control of fertigation, verifying the input of nutrients and water, so that contributions are accurate and losses of the same minimum.
It also will monitor the growth and evolution of cultures from physiological measurements and parameters that influence the final quality of horticultural products in the entire life cycle.
The project, called Integrated Management of Horticultural Crops, is an amount of five million euros and is financed by the Ministry of Science and Innovation through the Center for Industrial Technological Development.
The presentation ceremony was attended, by the University, the rector, José Antonio Cobacho, and the Vice Chancellor for Research, Juan María Vázquez, who stressed that this is a project "ambitious."
Also present were representatives of partner companies, which are Irrigation Murcia Levante SL, AngelPlus SL, SL Technology Imogene, Seed Source Alamo SL, Lands and Fruit Cartagena SL The SL Dulz
