Presentation
Worked with research, external collaboration, and activities in the field of precision agriculture since the early 1990s, while also focusing on methods to translate research into practical applications. Have initiated or been actively involved in the development of several decision support systems used in Sweden and internationally, including CropSAT (www.cropsat.com; a satellite image-based system for precision fertilization) and Markdata (www.markdata.se; a Swedish system based on digital soil maps of arable land in Sweden for precision soil management). Country representative of Sweden in the International Society for Precision Agriculture (ISPA) and serve on the European Conference for Precision Agriculture (ECPA) Program Committee.
Research projects
- Laboratory for agricultural decision support systems (LADS)
- Tools for the agronomic detective
- Is a quarter of the arable land fertilized blindly?
- VGR and SLU sustainable and innovative future agriculture
- Prediction of cover crop biomass with remote sensing

the Precision School - Precisionsskolan
If you want to learn, in an easy-to-understand way, the theory behind many of the concepts in precision farming, the Precision School is the right place for you. The Precision School is a project run by SLU in collaboration with various partners. In Swedish.
