This book describes how models are used to monitor crops and soils
in precision agriculture, and how they are used to support farmers'
decisions. The introductory section starts with an overview of
precision agriculture from the early days of yield monitoring in
the 1980s to the present, with a focus on the role of models. The
section continues with descriptions of the different kinds of
models and the opportunities for their application in precision
agriculture. The section concludes with a chapter on socio-economic
drivers and obstacles to the adoption of precision agriculture
technologies. The middle section of the book explores the
state-of-the-art in modeling for precision agriculture. Individual
chapters focus on the major processes in precision agriculture:
water use, nitrogen and other amendments, as well as weeds, pests
and diseases. The final section contains a series of short chapters
that each describe a commercial, model-based service that is
currently available to farmers. The book aims to provide useful
information to graduate-level professionals that want to broaden
their knowledge of precision agriculture; to scientists who want to
learn about using academic knowledge in practical farming; and to
farmers, farm consultants and extension workers who want to
increase their understanding of the science behind some of the
commercial software available to the farming community.
