This volume reviews key advances in precision agriculture
technology and applications. Chapters summarise developments in
monitoring techniques, including proximal crop and soil sensors and
remote sensing technologies. The book then goes on to discuss how
this information is processed to identify management zones and
input targets. Chapters also assesses advances in delivery
mechanisms such as variable rate application and targeted spray
technologies. The final part of the book surveys the wide range of
applications of precision agriculture, from controlled traffic
farming to site-specific nutrient and water management. With its
distinguished editor and international team of subject experts,
this will be a standard reference for crop scientists and
agronomists as well as all those concerned with improving the
efficiency and sustainability of agriculture.
This volume is the third (III) of four under the main themes of
Digitizing Agriculture and Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT). The four volumes cover rapidly developing
processes including Sensors (I), Data (II), Decision (III), and
Actions (IV). Volumes are related to ‘digital transformation”
within agricultural production and provision systems, and in the
context of Smart Farming Technology and Knowledge-based
Agriculture. Content spans broadly from data mining and
visualization to big data analytics and decision making, alongside
with the sustainability aspects stemming from the digital
transformation of farming. The four volumes comprise the outcome of
the 12th EFITA Congress, also incorporating chapters that
originated from select presentations of the Congress. The
focus of this book (III) is on the transformation of collected
information into valuable decisions and aims to shed light on how
best to use digital technologies to reduce cost, inputs, and time,
toward becoming more efficient and transparent. Fourteen chapters
are grouped into 3 Sections. The first section of is dedicated to
decisions in the value chain of agricultural products. The next
section, titled Primary Production, elaborates on decision making
for the improvement of processes taking place with the farm under
the implementation of ICT. The last section is devoted to the
development of innovative decision applications that also consider
the protection of the environment, recognizing its importance in
the preservation and considerate use of resources, as well as the
mitigation of adverse impacts that are related to agricultural
production. Planning and modeling the assessment of agricultural
practices can provide farmers with valuable information prior to
the execution of any task. This book provides a valuable
reference for them as well as for those directly involved with
decision making in planning and assessment of agricultural
production. Specific advances covered in the volume:
Modelling and Simulation of ICT-based agricultural systems Farm
Management Information Systems (FMIS) Planning for unmanned
aerial systems Agri-robotics awareness and planning
Smart livestock farming Sustainable strategic planning in
agri-production Food business information systems
