Market Report

Precision Agriculture which has emerged in 1980s in the US, assists the farmers in decision making for efficient farm management. Precision agriculture has proven to be a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable approach for farming practices. It is referred as a management concept that aims to monitor and control the variability in farm operations to achieve better yield. Use of wireless communication and GPS in precision agriculture equipment enables auto-steering of vehicles, variable rate application of fertilizers, controlled operations of planters, seeders, sprayers and so on. These technologies also help the farmer in evaluating the crop production cycle with yield monitoring. Growing emphasis on input costs has triggered the need for optimal usage of resources such as fertilizers and machinery. Variable rate fertilization, section and row controlled planting and precision spraying uses GPS and GIS for precise application of resources resulting in low-cost operations. Driv...
