By using resources more efficiently, precision agriculture (PA) can make agriculture more productive and sustainable.
This new edition of Precision agriculture for sustainability provides a comprehensive review of the key components of PA, from information gathering to delivery systems, as well as the wide range of applications from precision tillage and seeding to site-specific irrigation and nutrition, as well as crop protection and weed management. The book also considers the emergence of new approaches and technologies, including multi-sensor fusion, artificial intelligence and big data.
