feldweise

Feldweise is a term primarily used in German-speaking countries to describe a method of working or operating within a field, often referring to a specific agricultural or scientific context. It literally translates to "field-wise" or "by field." The concept implies a systematic approach to tasks or investigations carried out in the actual environment where the subject of study or work is located, as opposed to a laboratory or theoretical setting.

In agriculture, feldweise might refer to the practice of applying fertilizers or pesticides in specific zones or sections of a field based on the needs of the crops in those areas. This contrasts with uniform application across the entire area. It suggests a detailed observation and tailored treatment of individual parts of the field. In scientific research, particularly in fields like ecology or agronomy, feldweise studies involve direct observation and data collection in natural or agricultural settings. This methodology prioritizes real-world conditions and variability over controlled, artificial environments. The focus is on understanding phenomena as they occur organically and interact with their surroundings.
