Precision Agricultureby CIBA Foundation Symposium
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 2008; US$ 188.00This book investigates new agricultural systems such as organic and green manuring, as well as integrated pest management practices, and looks at how they can improve farm productivity against the enhancements for the environment. Much of the information presented focuses on microinvestigation of the soil, and on the effects of soil variability within fields on yields and nutrient flows. more...
Precision Farmingby Premjit Sharma
GeneTech Books 2007; US$ 50.00Precision Farming is an emerging, important hi-tech approach to agricultural practices which promises to revolutionise the sector of agriculture. This new technology enables farmers to create finely detained maps of forms that describe important characteristics, such as fertilizer requirements, by a specific location of the field. This book not only introduces the reader to the technology of precision farming, it presents, a broad overview of its concepts and the tools of this systems. It also closely studies the mobility of this option and considers economic, environmental and other considerations. With a comprehensive insight into the subject, the book should prove to be an interesting read to the reader. more...
Geostatistical Applications for Precision Agricultureby M.A. Oliver
Springer 2010; US$ 189.00The aim of this book is to bring together a series of contributions from experts in the field to cover the major aspects of the application of geostatistics in precision agriculture. The focus will not be on theory, although there is a need for some theory to set the methods in their appropriate context. The subject areas identified and the authors selected have applied the methods in a precision agriculture framework. The papers will reflect the wide range of methods available and how they can be applied practically in the context of precision agriculture. This book is likely to have more impact as it becomes increasingly possible to obtain data cheaply and more farmers use onboard digital maps of soil and crops to manage their land. It might... more...
Precision Crop Protection - the Challenge and Use of Heterogeneityby Erich-Christian Oerke; Roland Gerhards; Gunter Menz; Richard A. Sikora
Springer 2010; US$ 209.00Precision farming is an agricultural management system using global navigation satellite systems, geographic information systems, remote sensing, and data management systems for optimizing the use of nutrients, water, seed, pesticides and energy in heterogeneous field situations. This book provides extensive information on the state-of-the-art of research on precision crop protection and recent developments in site-specific application technologies for the management of weeds, arthropod pests, pathogens and nematodes. It gives the reader an up-to-date and in-depth review of both basic and applied research developments. The chapters discuss biology and epidemiology of pests, new sensor technologies, applications of multi-scale sensor systems,... more...
