SYNOPSIS
Precision agriculture engineering is a method of managing variability on the field based on data collected from digital sources such as cameras & sensors, survey reports and maps. Although the concept of site specific management is easy to digest, implementation on the ground has its challenges. Research done by MARDI in the last 15 years on this topic taught us valuable lessons that can be translated into future actions.
