Precision Agriculture: Evolution, Insights and Emerging Trends
presents a complete guide from foundational concepts to the
economic, commercial and environmental implications of the
approach. Showcasing recent research improvements, future trends,
and highlighting innovative use of machine vision, artificial
intelligence, UAVs, drones, IoT and data analytics to promote
sustainable agriculture, the book brings the reader up-to-date with
understanding and implementing this targeted practice. From the
basic elements of agronomy to insights on reflectance and remote
sensing indices, chapters use summary abstracts, case studies and
real-world examples of implementing the tools of precision
agriculture (PA) to demonstrate the latest advances. It includes
explanations on the origin of the intra-plot variability of a
culture (spatial and temporal), different types of existing
sensors, controllers and site-specific management. The book further
explores yield monitoring, weed, disease and pest control,
automated irrigation systems, PA tools for variable rate
application of inputs within the field, and data processing
methods. By also exploring the economic profitability of precision
farming approaches, and its utility for sustainable agriculture,
Precision Agriculture: Evolution, Insights and Emerging Trends is a
truly comprehensive view of this important approach to improving
global agriculture production. Scientists, researchers,
policymakers, graduate and postgraduate students, and engineers in
the related fields of agriculture, computer science and engineering
will benefit from this book.
