As the sole international scientific society completely devoted to Precision Agriculture, the ISPA could not avoid the need to provide clarity and guidance on this important concept. The Precision Agriculture concept emerged in the early ‘90s and was then totally focused on the study and management of spatial variability in crop production.

Precision agriculture (PA) is an approach to farm management that uses information technology ( IT ) to ensure that the crops and soil receive exactly what they need for optimum health and productivity. The goal of PA is to ensure profitability, sustainability and protection of the environment. PA is also known as satellite agriculture, ...

Tiziano Gomiero, in Saving Food, 20192.7.1 Precision agriculture Precision agriculture (PA) (also known as “precision farming,” “site-specific crop management,” “prescription farming,” and “variable rate technology”) has been developing since the 1990s, and refers to agricultural management systems carefully tailoring soil and crop management to fit the different …

2017/4/24 · Precision agriculture was born with the introduction of GPS guidance for tractors in the early 1990s, and the adoption of this technology is now so widespread globally that it’s probably the most commonly-used example of precision ag today. John Deere was the first to introduce this technology using GPS location data from satellites.

Precision Agriculture Precision agriculture can be defined as “the application of modern information technologies to provide, process and analyze multisource data of high spatial and temporal resolution for decision making and operations in the management of crop production” (National Research Council, 1997).

Precision agriculture and smart farming are integrated into digital farming, and describes the execution of data-driven strategy as it relates to agricultural production. This is a nascent field (no pun intended!), with automated data processing and completely integrated networks not yet a …

2009/3/8 · 2. INTRODUCTION Precision agriculture is an integrated information - and production -based farming system that is designed to increase long term , site-specific and whole farm production efficiency , productivity and profitability while minimizing unintended impacts on wildlife and the environment .
