Precision Agriculture: Technology and Economic Perspectives
@inproceedings{Pedersen2017PrecisionAT, title={Precision Agriculture: Technology and Economic Perspectives}, author={S{\o}ren Marcus Pedersen and Kim Martin Hjorth Lind}, booktitle={Progress in Precision Agriculture}, year={2017} }
This chapter gives an introduction to Precision Agriculture (PA) with a short historic pathway of the development and the status of current available technologies. Part of this description also provides an overview of some of the economic barriers and technical obstacles when applying variable-rate application. This chapter also notes that the adoption of several specific variable-rate application technologies have been modest in recent years. However, in contrast the adoption of auto-steering…
