Climatic variations often tend to have adverse effect on the yield
and production of crops. Efforts have, therefore, been on for
harnessing this natural resource through artificial means for
increasing crop productivity. One such technology is protected
cultivation. This technique is well adopted in Europe and USA and
now China and Japan are leading in controlled sphere production of
horticultural crops. In India, the technology is making
breakthrough in Karnataka and Maharashtra in protected cultivation
of pepper, tomato, cucumber, muskmelon, baby corn etc. Precision
farming is defined as the cultivation by adopting technologies
which give maximum precision in production of a superior crop with
a desired yield levels and quality at competitive production. These
include use of genetically modified crop varieties,
micropropagation, integrated nutrient, water and pest managements,
protected cultivation, organic farming, hi-tech horticulture, and
post harvest technology. Post-harvest sector needs lot of
precision. Peels, rags, etc. go waste. Many times, peels being rich
in polyphenols, colouring pigment, nutrients etc are richer in
antioxidant than what we actually eat. Here, we need precision.
Precision in management, precision in product diversification,
precision in value addition are much sought after aspect.
