- Konni Biegert is the group leader of the plant physiology and technology group at the Kompetenzzentrum Obstbau Bodensee located in the second largest apple growing region in Germany. She pursued her PhD in the department of horticulture at the Hochschule Geisenheim University focusing on the prediction of internal browning of apples based on the application of sensors and modeling.
- She is working in international and national applied research projects. Her work focusses on the integration of new technologies in horticulture production and implements interfaces not only of systems, but also with companies and players in decision support systems. The latest research in this context is a data networking project “Apfel4.NULL” and “Lichtapfel” using optical sensors to predict fruitlet drop.
