Faced with challenges of resource scarcity and environmental
degradation, it is important to adopt innovative farming systems
that maximize resource efficiency while protecting the environment.
Soil-Specific Farming: Precision Agriculture focuses on principles
and applications of soil-specific farming, providing information on
rapidly evolving agricultural technologies. It addresses
assessments of soil variability and application of modern
innovations to enhance use efficiency of fertilizers, irrigation,
tillage, and pesticides through targeted management of soils and
crops. This book provides the technological basis of adopting and
promoting precision agriculture (PA) for addressing the issues of
resource scarcity, environmental pollution, and climate change. It
focuses specifically on PA technologies and discusses historical
evolution, soil variability at different scales, soil fertility and
nutrient management, water quality, land leveling techniques, and
special ecosystems involving small landholders and coastal regions.
Highlighting the scale-related issues and concerns of small
landholders, the text details the efficient use of resources on the
basis of soil/field variability and site-specific conditions. It
examines how PA technology can increase productivity, enhance
profitability, and minimize environmental degradation. Woven
throughout is the theme of sustainable use of resources.
