High yields and environmental control in crop farming call for
precise adaptations to local growing conditions. Treating large
fields in a uniform way by high capacity machinery cannot be
regarded as a sustainable method for many situations. Because
differences existing within single fields must be considered. The
transition from former field work carried out manually or by small
implements to present-day high-capacity machinery caused that the
farmers lost the immediate and close contact with soils and crops.
However, modern sensing and controlling technology can make up for
this deficit. High tech methods that include proximal sensing and
signals from satellites can provide for controls that allow
adjusting farming operations to small fractions of one ha and
sometimes even down to some m2, hence in a site-specific mode. This
applies to operations for soil cultivation, sowing, fertilizing and
plant protection. This book deals with site-specific concepts,
applications and results.
