TOPIC

PRECISION FARMING
INTRODUCTION
• Agriculture is the backbone of our country.
• Precision farming provides a new solution using a systems approach
for today’s agricultural issues such as the need to balance productivity
with environmental concerns.
• It is based on advanced information technology.
• It aims to increase economic returns, reduce the energy input and the
environmental impacts of agricultures.

DEFINITION - Precision farming
• Precision farming is generally defined as information and technology
based farm management system to identify analysis and manage
variability within fields for optimum profitability, sustainability and
protection of the land resource.

AI3021/ITAS/IV CSE/VII SEM/KG-KiTE


Objectives of Precision Agriculture
1. To Identify the causes of within field variation in crop performance.
2. To increase production efficiency
3. To improve product quality
4. To use chemicals more efficiently
5. To protect soil and ground water
6. To determine the potential economic and environmental benefits.

Why precision farming?
• Prevents soil degradation in cultivable land.
• Reduction of chemical use in crop production.
• Efficient use of water resource.
• Dissemination of modern farm practices to improve quality, quantity
& reduced cost of production in agricultural crops.

TOOLS FOR PRECISION FARMING
• REMOTE SENSING
• GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYATEM
• GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM
• VARIABLE RATE APPLICATION
• LASER LAND LEVELLING
• GRID BASED SOIL SAMPLING
• LEAF COLOUR CHART
• CHLOROPHYLL METER
• SITE SPECIFIC NUTRIENT MANAGEMENT

Geographic Information Systems
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Computer software that stores,
analyzes and displays spatial data and its corresponding attributes
• Attributes include: soil type, pH, salinity levels, nutrient levels, and
crop history
• GIS can overlay multiple data maps
• GIS can store, calculate, model current and historical data
• Maps are the main visual output but can include reports, tables and
charts

GIS Example - Data layer of yield
• Data layer of topography from a Digital
Elevation Model (DEM)
• Data layer of soil conductivity
• Output: A visual display of areas of low
yield and high EC, indicating possible
salinity problems OR fertility differences
GIS can be used to predict fertilizer
needs across a field

Global Positioning Systems
• Global Positioning Systems (GPS) An instrument that receives
satellite signals to calculate your position (latitude, longitude and
elevation).

AI3021/ITAS/IV CSE/VII SEM/KG-KiTE


Remote Sensing (RS)
• Remote Sensing (RS) Collects data from reflected electromagnetic
energy and converts it into images using satellites or airplanes. Any
data that is suspect or highly irregular, needs to be confirmed by field
investigation.

AI3021/ITAS/IV CSE/VII SEM/KG-KiTE


Yield Monitoring and Mapping
Yield Monitoring and Mapping
• Sensors mounted on the combine measuring yield as the crop is
harvested.
• Coupled with a GPS logging location, data can be mapped.
• Identifies in-field variations in yield.
• Allows fine tuning of next year’s seeding and fertilizer applications.
• Overall yield monitor accuracy is improving with use and research,
while in-field accuracy is improved with calibration. Yield monitors are
attached to conveyors or combines to measure grain yield and moisture
content.
