| dc.description | Precision agriculture is a management philosophy or approach to the farm and is not a definable prescriptive system. It identifies the critical factors where yield is limited by controllable factors, and determines intrinsic spatial variability. It is essentially more precise farm management made possible by modern technology. The variations occurring in crop or soil properties within a field are noted, mapped and then management actions are taken as a consequence of continued assessment of the spatial variability within that field by adoption of site-specific management systems using remote sensing (RS), GPS, and geographical information system (GIS). Precision agriculture requires special tools and resources to recognize the inherent spatial variability associated with soil characteristics, crop growth and to prescribe the most appropriate management strategy on a site specific basis. It offers a potential step change in productive efficiency. The more suitable definition for Precision Farming in the context of Indian farming scenario could be: Precise application of agricultural inputs based on soil, weather and crop requirement to maximize sustainable productivity, quality and profitability. Today because of increasing input costs and decreasing commodity prices, the farmers are looking for new ways to increase efficiency and cut costs. Precision farming technology would be a viable alternate to improve profitability and productivity. | en_US |
