A thorough, critical, and up-to-date look at precision farming
around the world In most developing countries, farming is the best
safety net against hunger and keeping production costs under
control without sacrificing crop yield is essential for survival.
The Handbook of Precision Agriculture presents up-to-date research,
field studies, and practical applications from around the world to
help agricultural scientists and farmers work together to design a
farming methodology that improves productivity, profitability, and
sustainability. The book offers a comprehensive guide to basic
principles and technologies, crop-specific applications,
integrative strategies, economic and environmental concerns, and
future trends in precision agriculture in different regions of the
world. Handbook of Precision Agriculture provides basic guidelines
and recommendations for implementing precision farming worldwide to
help improve farm profits while conserving the environment. Keeping
the technical jargon to a minimum, 50 of the world's foremost
authorities on precision farming examine a wide range of subject
areas, including agronomy, crop physiology, genetics and plant
breeding, soil science, entomology, meteorology, agricultural
extension, weed science, plant pathology, ecology, spatial
information sciences, and economics. In addition to discussing
theory and practice on field-level management, the book's
contributors discuss how to identify and manage field variability,
and how to implement precision farming in selected crops and
cropping systems, working from case studies that represent both
regional and crop-specific contexts. Topics examined in Handbook of
Precision Agriculture include: essential technologies for precision
farming site-specific nutrient management precision water
management site-specific weed management precision management of
rice site-specific management of cotton producing precision farming
from a cropping systems perspective case studies of precision
farming in Europe, Australia, and South America and much more
Handbook of Precision Agriculture also includes a foreword written
by the renowned agricultural scientist, administrator, and World
Food Prize Laureate, Professor M.S. Swaiminathan. Peer-reviewed by
more than 100 reviewers from around the world, this unique book
presents detailed information and concepts in a simple and direct
style that's easy to understand-even for beginners!
