Summary of the project “Internet-based Platform for Advice and Decision Support in Integrated Plant Protection”

“Until now, this project existed mainly in the minds of the originators and the people who participated in its implementation. However, now we can present it to you. eDWIN is a very large project and an extremely broad one in terms of the scope of its impact and the number of people who have implemented it,” this is how Mariusz Tatka, Director of the Agricultural Advisory Center in Brwinow, Poznan branch, spoke at the opening of the first conference summarising three years of work on the eDWIN advisory platform.

The conference organised on May 17 in Krakow was the first of four to summarize the project “Internet-based Platform for Advice and Decision Support in Integrated Plant Protection” under which the eDWIN advisory platform was developed.

The participants of the meeting listened to four lectures on the following topics:

  • “eDWIN – Internet-based Platform for Advice and Decision Support in Integrated Plant Protection” – Maciej Zacharczuk (Wielkopolska Region Agricultural Advisory Center in Poznan),
  • “The importance of information access in an innovative approach to the requirements of integrated plant protection” – professor Paweł Bereś (Institute of Plant Protection – National Research Institute),
  • “A farmer’s handy advisor. Practical use of the eDWIN platform and the Virtual Farm” – Michał Głombicki (Wielkopolska Region Agricultural Advisory Center in Poznan),
  • “Further perspectives for the development of the eDWIN advisory platform”.

The conference was concluded by the panel discussion, during which Maciej Zacharczuk emphasised that an important element of the eDWIN platform development will be the issue of fertilizers in the fields.

In the following days, further conferences summarising the eDWIN project are planned, organised by:

  • Mazovia Agricultural Advisory Centre – May 20 in Piaseczno,
  • Wielkopolska Agricultural Advisory Center in Poznan – May 27 in Poznan,
  • Pomeranian Agricultural Advisory Centre in Luban – May 31 in Kościerzyna.
