Precision Agriculture for Sustainability: Second Edition
Burleigh Dodds Science Publishing Limited (Verlag)
978-1-80146-881-7 (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).
