New "variety" of timothy named "Muri" was registered in the List of Varieties of the Republic of Slovenia. In addition to agronomic traits, the net energy value for lactation was taken into account in breeding programme. Variety is characterised by a higher yield and better energy value.
F.06 Development of a new product
COBISS.SI-ID: 4771432Patented innovation for sprayer for targeted application of phytopharmaceutical preparations in permanent crops. The sprayer allows selective application of plant protection products, which has a major impact on savings of plant protection products and the economics of spraying, in addition all the undesirable effects of excessive use of plant protection products are reduced to the minimum. With it is possible application of plant protection products with regard to the density of plant mass, shape of plants and empty spaces in the permanent plantation. The density of the plants and the empty spaces in the permanent plants are detected by means of machine vision systems, ultrasound or other means of detection (various versions of the sensors). Information from the system of machine vision or other sensors for detection is provided in real-time to actuators - spray nozzles for plant protection. The density of plant mass or empty spaces in the plantation, affecting the functioning number of nozzles (in the case of detected empty spaces in the canopy, the nozzle or nozzles automatically closes and stops the flow of the plant protection product).
F.32 International patent
COBISS.SI-ID: 4530024Free web application for farmers to analyse and plan a diet for dairy cows (KOKRA). It was developed within database “CATTLE” which contains regular monthly milk recording data. Application KOKRA uses also the database “FEEDS” , a storage of the results of feedstuff analyses from labs, data on the nutritive value of commercial feed mixtures, data which are entered into the database by farmers and the composition and nutritive value of different feedstuff from the literature. In the application updated equations for the estimation of net energy for lactation and metabolizable protein were integrated. Additionally, the latest standards and systems for the prediction of dry matter intake, physically effective fibre, carbohydrate fractions and macro-mineral requirements were inserted. The integration of potential standard lactation curves for Slovene cattle breeds enables better planning of lactation and daily requirements of nutrients according to lactation phase and cow production potential. Application is upgraded with warnings and recommendations regarding the physiological adequacy of the diet and enables connectivity of existing databases on a farm level as also storing of planned rations.
