Brief introduction
Matthias Wengert is a research assistant and PhD-Student at the department of Grassland Science and Renewable Plant Resources at the University of Kassel. His research focus is drone-based remote sensing methods for the analysis of spatio-temporal variability of plant parameters in agricultural crops. He is working in various projects investigating yield, quality and sward composition (projects GreenDairy and KleeAss) as well as the impact of grazing (project Insect diversity through pasture feeding) on legume-grass-mixtures with means of drone-based remote sensing. Another research field lies in the development of drone-based methods for surveying yield-related plant parameters in silvoarable and silvopastoral agroforestry systems (Project SIGNAL, phase 2).
