Precision Agriculture (PA)

Precision Agriculture (PA)

Precision Agriculture (PA) has been very promising because it is based on sound scientific principles of agricultural crop production management. Its framework is based on the spatial and temporal variability of soil properties coupled with aspects of crop production.

Success of PA

PA optimizes and reduces inputs application on a site–specific ground for increased management efficiency, enhanced profits and maintained environment quality. The success of PA in site–specific management is based on advanced technologies such as Global Positioning System (GPS), micro–controllers, sensors, softwares and variable rate actuators along with their application to assess, manage and evaluate the space–time continuum in crop production.

PA using GIS

. PA using Geographic Information System (GIS)/GPS techniques for site-specific crop management, precise application of inputs (seeds, water, fertilizers, chemicals, etc.), application of drones in agriculture, application of sensors and nano-sensor networks, micro–processor and micro–controller in agriculture and IoT are some of the areas that need more attention in the present context of higher crop production for sustainable food security.
