    The goal The subject should enable the student to acquire knowledge/understanding of the principles of precision agriculture, as well as to point out the importance and way of functioning of modern technical solutions from this field.
    The outcome Acquiring practical knowledge and the possibility of applying precision agriculture in fruit and viticulture production systems. Knowledge of the structure of databases, how they function and apply GIS, GNSS and VRT. Knowledge of techniques, methods of application and use of UAV and satellite in the field of detection and prevention of unwanted phenomena in fruit and viticulture production.
    Contents
    Contents of lectures Basic principles of precision agriculture (PA). Description of the spatial heterogeneity of soil and plants.
