Abstract

Homogeneity is an important quality parameter of barley and malt. Within a single field there can be a big variation in crop yield and quality e.g. protein content due to differences in water resources and in soil structure. The magnitude of the variation was monitored and the crop yield was predicted using aerial images. As expected the crop yield and protein content varied and this variation was reflected in malt quality. The ultimate goal is to use aerial images and soil data for optimisation of inputs, prediction of crop yield and quality, and exclusion of low quality plots during harvesting.
