The increased efficiency and profitability that the proper
application of technology can provide has made precision
agriculture the hottest developing area within traditional
agriculture. The first single-source volume to cover GIS
applications in agronomy, GIS Applications in Agriculture examines
ways that this powerful technology can help farmers produce a
greater abundance of crops with more efficiency and at lower costs.
Each chapter describes the nature of a problem, examines the
purpose and scope of a GIS application, presents the methods used
to develop the application, and then goes on to provide results and
offer a conclusion as well as supporting information. When
appropriate, the chapters present the underlying statistical
approach for the GIS software that is used. The text also includes
a CD-ROM featuring data sets and color maps produced by the use of
GIS.
Concentrating more on the approach and less on the specific
software, the authors describe the methods used to develop an
application and discuss limitations to the algorithms and the
programming code used. They then summarize the application in terms
of what it does, how it works, its limitations, and its potential
uses. The book provides a toolkit for the acquisition, management,
and analysis of spatial data throughout the agriculture value
chain.
