Agriculture
Precision agriculture applications include the
measurement of crop yield during harvesting,
management of soil sampling and weeds,
variable rate fertiliser spreading, auditing of
fertilisers, insecticides and herbicides,
autonomous farm machinery, and tracking of
animal movements through the addition of
short range tagging technology. Corn and
soybeans producers have tested systems to
improve management of soil acidity and lime
application (leading to a 60% reduction in the
lime needed) based on the use of satellite
navigation. Hybridisation with satellite imagery
has already demonstrated large benefits.
Agriculture is of major economic significance
and farmers and related industry are seeking
ways in which to differentiate their new
products in order to boost their sales through
improved efficiency.
In agriculture,we can find a number of
applications among which, the applications
related to precise farming and parcel
measurement. [1]
