Introduction Decision support systems, data analysis and data mining have become significant tools for improving business in professional world. The emerging technologies are making the precision agriculture omnipresent and allow potential for enriching it with computer-assisted decision support systems for farm management.[1] Decision Support Systems play an important role in modernize and optimizing production… read more »
Introduction Spraying drift occurs when the sprayed droplets of agrochemical stray out of the targeted crop field and result in major environmental pollution, toxicities and soil degradation. At the same time, the crops remain unprotected to insect and weed infestations due to the low volume of active chemicals that remain in the field after… read more »

Introduction Nitrogen (N) is one of the most important mineral nutrients for plant growth, yield and crop quality. Precise timing and rate of N fertilizer application play a major role in plant nutrition. Prediction of N requirements is necessary for efficient utilization of nitrogen fertilizers. Improving the efficiency of N fertilizer utilization reduces the… read more »
Introduction Crops monitoring on large-scale farm is a complex and time-consuming exercise, particularly in warm arid conditions where crops can change drastically in 24 hours. Reducing scouting time is of great importance while providing maps for large areas within hours would be the ultimate goal. With multi-spectral sensors, biomass is monitored accurately helping the… read more »
Introduction Manure is a nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. But until now, natural variance and rapid settling left the success of manure fertilisation to chance[1]. Optimizing the use of manure minimizes loss of nutrients and dispersion into the environment. Manure not only contains nutrients such as N, P and K which can be re-used as fertilizer… read more »

Introduction Differences within plant stock mostly depend on the soil. The measurement of electrical conductivity with the help of a soil scanner gives the first impression of these relative differences. As a result detailed soil zone maps can be generated to facilitate fertilization in accordance with real needs of the farm. Related Smart… read more »
