The Geo Data Portal holds all spatial data related to the project. Through its APIs the variable rate application maps are periodically updated and transmitted to the HIS on the field. The Geo Data Portal is based on GeoNode.
Data Portal
Link to the Data Portal: portal.addferti.eu
The Data Portal holds all documents and images related to the project. The Data Portal is based on CKAN. CKAN (Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network) is a web based open-source open data portal for the storage and distribution of open data. The codebase is maintained by the Open Knowledge Foundation.
It's Features include:
- API: All of a CKAN website’s core functionality (everything you can do with the web interface and more) can be used by external code that calls the CKAN API.
- Community extentions for the data portal, published under open source licenses and developed by the community.
- Data preview extensions for most data formats, including Geodata.
- The CKAN DataStore extension provides an ad hoc database for storage of structured data from CKAN resources.

2023 Annual Meeting: Rostock
Between 22. and 23. June 2023 the annual project meeting was held. Hosts where the project partners of the Rostock University. Each partner presented their progress, results and future actions regarding the project. Discussion points where: the inclusion of machine learning for irrigation forecast, the details of developing the hose reel irrigation machine and measuring the ecological impact of applied variable rate fertigation. On the second day the partner farm KSG Agrargesellschaft mbH Kassow was visited, followed by an excursion to the nearby test field.
2022 Annual Meeting: Bursa
Between 5. and 7. September the annual project meeting was held in Bursa. Hosts where the turkish partners at the Bursa Uludag University. Each partner presented their progress, results and future actions regarding the project. Especially the design of the Hose Reel Irrigation Machine was productively discussed. On the second day the Sezer plant was visited, followed by an excursion to the nearby test field. Orhan, the turkish farmer managing the field was also present and gave practical insights into his cultivation practices and real world requirements for the future VRF system.
2021 Kick-off meeting
On March 30, the kick-off meeting for the research project “A Data-Driven Platform for Site-Specific Fertigation” took place online. The project, led by the Belgian partner Abdul Mouazen, University of Ghent, is about combined fertilization and irrigation. Together with other partners from Switzerland, Greece and Turkey, an irrigation system is to be coupled with a fertilizer system in order to apply both fertilizer and water on a site-specific basis. This is to be tested on three farms, including in Kassow near Rostock. The Professorship for Geodesy and Geoinformatics from University Rostock is responsible for researching, implementing and operating the data-driven infrastructure as a central component. The project has a term of three years.
