    This document outlines precision agriculture concepts and tools. It discusses how precision agriculture uses the right inputs in the right place at the right time to increase profits, reduce waste, and improve environmental sustainability. Key components include soil and crop sampling, yield mapping, and variable rate technology. Tools like GPS, GIS, and yield monitors are used to collect and map spatial data that enable variable application of seeds, fertilizers, and other inputs based on field variability. The goal is to make better management decisions and apply inputs more efficiently to increase yields while reducing costs and pollution.

    Precision Agriculture Concept (new technology)

    •It is use of Right Input (nutrients, water, labor, money,


    machinery, technology), in the rite way, at the right place and
    at the rite time.

    •It identifies and responds appropriately to the variability


    within a field

    •It is an environment friendly system which apply agricultural


    inputs precisely according to the need of the soil to improve
    chemical use efficiency and reduce the pollution from
    agricultural field. It is also known as site-specific farming.
    Objectives

    • Increase profit
    • Reduce waste
    • Better and more homogeneous quality
    • Maintain environment
    Field Variability
    Fast changers: Slow changers:
    • nitrate level • topography
    • moisture content • texture
    • Pest population • pH
    PA Include Many Components

    Information Variable Rate Management

    • Intensive soil/crop • Fertilizer and lime


    sampling info • Seed rate
    • Yield mapping • Plant populations
    • Agrochemical • Pest control
    applications • Organic amendments
    • Weather data
    Precision Agriculture Tools

    • Global Positioning System (GPS)


    • Geographical Information System (GIS)
    • Variable Rate Technology (VRT)
    • Yield Monitoring System (YMS)
    GPS – Global Positioning System

    – GPS provides specially coded satellite


    signals that can be processed in a GPS
    receiver, enabling the receiver to
    compute position, velocity and time.
    – Four GPS satellite signals are used to
    compute positions in three dimensions
    and the time offset.
    – GPS is funded by and controlled by the
    U. S. Department of Defense (DOD).

    Satellites: 24
    Any Time Right Time
    Orbit: Medium Earth Orbit GPS:
    (20,000 Km) Any Place Right Place
    Geographical Information System (GIS)
    • GIS is a system of hardware, software, procedure and
    personnel to facilitate the
    • management,
    • manipulation,
    • analysis,
    • modeling,
    • representation and,
    • display
    • of georeferenced data to solve complex problems
    regarding planning and management of resources
    • (Adapted from NCGIA, 1990)
    Variable-Rate Technology (VRT)
    • VRT consists of farm field equipment which apply
    the precise quantity of crop inputs (tillage, seed,
    fertizer, weed control, irrigation) at a precise location
    in the field based on the individual characteristics of
    that location.
    • Components
    • Computer Controller
    • GPS receiver
    • GIS map data
    Yield Monitoring System (YMS)

    • Yield monitors are crop measuring devices installed


    on harvesting equipment. The yield data from the
    monitor is recorded and stored at regular intervals
    along with positional data from the GPS unit.GIS
    software takes the yield data and produces yield maps
    P.A. Activity chart
    Outcome
    • Improve crop yield
    • Provide information to make better management
    decisions
    • Reduces chemical and fertilizer cost through more
    efficient application
    • Provide more accurate farm records
    • Increase profit margins
    • Reduce pollution
