Precision Agriculture for Sustainability: Second Edition
Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing Limited (Verlag)
9781801468817 (ISBN)
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. The book also discusses recent developments in precision crop protection and weed management systems and the emergence of new approaches and technologies, including multi-sensor fusion, artificial intelligence and data.
Formerly a scientist at the internationally-renowned Silsoe Research Institute, Dr John Stafford is well known as a leader in precision agriculture technologies. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Agricultural Engineers, Co-Editor of the journal Precision Agriculture and past President of the International Society of Precision Agriculture (ISPA).
