The use of precision farming makes it possible to spatially resolve the crop management of agricultural crops down to the individual plant. By planning, setting up, supervising and evaluating a trial, the knowledge acquired from studying the literature on the subject is applied according to scientific criteria and the results are statistically evaluated, presented and discussed.

- Strategies for influencing (individual) plants in the crop stand

- Application of selected interventions from the disciplines of crop production, plant nutrition and phytomedicine with regard to (individual) plant-oriented management measures

- Planning and implementation of a field trial

- Data collection, evaluation and presentation

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

• Field work / Experimental work

Students at Osnabrück University of Applied Sciences who have successfully completed this module are able to describe and categorize the plant interrelationships that are a prerequisite for (individual) plant-related management. They can interpret complex relationships in a scientifically sound manner.

The students have comprehensive, detailed and critical knowledge in the fields of (single) plant-related crop cultivation, which reflects the current state of knowledge and research. Their in-depth knowledge of plant cultivation is based on current developments. They have the ability to further develop the subject areas in a scientifically sound manner. In doing so, they apply different scientific theories in a comparative manner.

Students who have successfully completed this module will be able to interpret and evaluate numerical and graphical data on the basis of existing international literature. They apply skills and techniques to reflect on complex issues relating to single crop management.

Students are able to select and apply suitable research methods for defined questions in the context of single-plant-oriented crop production. They derive well-founded judgments based on scientific data, which they can transfer into practice. They develop solutions according to the state of the art and are able to carry out practical projects.

Students who have successfully completed this module apply innovative research methods in order to be able to evaluate questions of single-plant-oriented crop production.

Students are able to prepare experimental data in the form of a presentation and present it to a professional audience. They are able to justify relevant solutions to problems in discourse with experts. They will be able to communicate and cooperate with other specialists and non-specialists in order to solve problems responsibly.

Students can adequately assess their individual qualification profile with regard to their skills in the context of single-plant-oriented crop production. They have developed a professional self-perception that is oriented towards the goals and standards of agricultural practice. In addition, they reflect critically on their professional actions in relation to social expectations and consequences.
