Major activity in USER-PA

ATB will develop in-situ fruit sensors based on multi-spectral, multipathlengths approach for (i) monitoring of fruit maturity pigments for harvest management, (ii) diurnal course of fruit water content for irrigation scheduling. Data of reliable calibration, after data reduction, will be transmitted by wireless sensor network in field trial and demonstration for increasing the data usability. Will accompany emerging technologies (Raman, time-resolved spectroscopy) by laboratory fruit analyses
