Precision Agriculture Technology for Crop Production initiative pioneers advancements in site-specific crop management technology, integrating sensing, data handling, modeling, and control applications. Utilizing GPS, drones, and satellite imagery, the project enhances crop quality, profitability, and optimizes resource use for sustainable agriculture. Departing from conventional methods, the initiative employs a segmented field management approach, allowing diverse decisions in fertilizer application and machinery movement. The goal is to revolutionize crop agriculture for increased productivity, profitability, and ecological sustainability. This strategic management approach not only boosts crop yields and animal performance but also lowers costs, contributing to increased profitability. Precision Agriculture in Crop Production further promotes worker safety and mitigates environmental impacts.
The KNOW4FARM Project, through the Creation of a Digital Handbook, will dedicate a chapter to the “Use of Precision Agriculture Technology in Crop Production.” This chapter aims to comprehensively inform and communicate this valuable strategy for the sustainability of Agriculture and society.
