The experiment is conducted in Krakovany, Slovakia, in collaboration with the PD Krakovany-Stráže agricultural cooperative, where the effects of different tillage practices and intercropping are being studied across four fields. The fields are arranged in pairs: one pair was cultivated with maize and the other with sunflower in 2025, with each pair consisting of one experimental plot (no-till with direct seeding) and one control plot (conventional ploughing and seedbed preparation). On the no-till plots, intercropping was implemented using a mixture of pea and vetch species, which helps maintain soil cover, improve soil structure, and enhance nitrogen fixation. To monitor soil conditions, sensors were installed in all four fields at depths of 30 and 60 cm, providing continuous data on soil moisture, temperature, and electrical conductivity. The dashboard interface collects and visualizes these data, making the experiment easy to interpret.
