TUAT On-Line Real-Time Soil Spectrometer
Understanding soil spatial variability is the first
step in the practice of Precision Agriculture. Researchers at TUAT, Japan have developed
a real time-soil spectrophotometer to determine the variability of soil physio-chemical
properties in a field. © ISTVS

Einstein and Precision Agriculture
by Alex. McBratney, Australian Centre for Precision Agriculture
Views from the Field
Precise positioning is playing a critical role in all agricultural
field operations as the increasingly populated world continues to lose farmland
and global markets become more competitive. Four farmers put a precision tool
using the Global Positioning System to the test and gain speed, accuracy and
efficiency in their operations. Resource, Vol. 9 No. 11 © ASAE
(2002)
The Promise of Precision Agriculture
New technologies from the space-age industry are providing
advancements in precision agriculture. After five years of field research using
these technologies to evaluate water quality under irrigated conditions, a team
of scientists praise their potential to protect the environment, but recommend
more research to reduce problems. Resource, Vol. 9 No. 7 © ASAE
(2002)
Cluster
Criteria
An optical mass flow sensor has recently been developed by the department of
biosystems engineering at Auburn University. Resource, Vol. 9 No. 5 © ASAE

Fertilizer Sense
Making nitrogen (N) fertilizer recommendations based on inadequate knowledge of
a soil’s N supply can lead to inefficient N use. Remote sensing techniques that
use the crop to indicate its N status could help improve N management. Resource,

Soil Dynamics Research for Precision Farming
Sensors for real-time measurement of soil physical
parameters in precision farming are being developed by Shrini Upadhyaya and his
