Wageningen Academic Pub Precision Agriculture 09 by Henten E J Van Et Al Eds
Precision Agriculture is becoming ever more relevant as the agricultural industry struggles to come to terms with the environment, economics, traceability, vehicle guidance and crop management. Whilst some benefits have proved elusive, others contribute positively to todays agriculture. Research continues to be necessary and needs to be reported and disseminated to a wide audience.These proceedings contain the reviewed papers from the 7th European Conference on Precision Agriculture. The papers reflect the wide range of disciplines that impinge upon precision agriculture including remote sensing, plant disease and weed detection, yield monitoring, soil sensing, geo statistics and path planning, regional and crop modelling, cooperation and guidance of robots, precision application, ICT in precision agriculture, future farming and European relevance for precision agriculture.The broad range of research topics reported is a valuable resource for researchers, advisors, teachers and professionals in agriculture.Also note that the reviewed papers from the 4th European Conference on Precision Livestock Farming are presented in a companion publication.
