| Precision Agriculture covers a research area with the goal to optimize agricultural production system in both time and spatial dimension. |
| In practice, PA changes the way a farmer works: . Yield are not only harvested but also mapped . Soil sensing gives information on soil status . Tree/crop sensing for tree/crop growth information . Fertilizer/pesticide apply according to local demand . Use new technique like DGPS/GIS, EM method, ultrasonic sensors, remote sensing, NIRs, multispectral and hyperspctral images, yield monitors and varibale rate spreaders/sprayers . Information technology supports decision making. |
