Precision Agriculture for Sustainability and Environmental Protection: Earthscan Food and Agriculture
Editat de Margaret Oliver, Thomas Bishop, Benjamin Marchanten Limba Engleză Hardback – 14 noi 2013
The technologies covered include yield monitors and remote sensing, and the key agronomic principles addressed are the optimal delivery of fertilizers, water and pesticides to crops only when and where these are required. As a result, it is shown that both food production and resource efficiency can be maximized, without waste or damage to the environment, such as can occur from excessive fertilizer or pesticide applications. The authors of necessity describe some technicalities about PA, but the overall aim is to introduce readers who are unfamiliar with PA to this very broad subject and to demonstrate the potential impact of PA on the environment and economy.
The book shows how farmers can place sustainability of the environment at the centre of their operations and that this is improved with the application of PA. The range of topics described includes sampling and mapping, weed and pest control, proximal and remote sensing, spatio-temporal analysis for improving management, management zones and water management. These are illustrated with case studies such as sports field and grassland management, viticulture, biofuels from sugar cane and maize, paddy rice cultivation, and cotton production.
