Precision agriculture, which started more than 20 years ago, is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. It is usually managed as a three-stage process, data collection, analysis of the variability and decision-making, and implementation by variable-rate technology (VRT). The key technologies for precision agriculture include advanced sensors, GNSS (global navigation satellite system), remote sensing, GIS (geographic information system), agricultural machines. Essential components of this new technological and industrial revolution in precision agriculture include modern information and communication technologies (ICT), mobile internet, internet of things, big data, cloudy computing, and robotics. This upgraded version of precision agriculture, also called smart agriculture, is the future of farming.[展开] ...
