Luckily, the development of farm technology has resulted in a broad range of agricultural sprayers that can be usedRead more

Since the 19th century, farmers have used primary remote sensing devices to observe crops from the air. These devices came in the form of balloons, which carried photographic cameras and other instruments over the fields to identify and monitor crop conditions. Since then this technology has drastically improved. Farmers use modern remote sensing devices whichRead more

Low-density field crops cover a wide range of arable and vegetable crops planted in low-density in order to enable interrow cultivation. Such crops include sugarcane, potato, and various leaf and root vegetables. These crops are significant to human diet improvement, as well as for beverage and industrial production. Therefore, growing low-density field crops is actually a very important and profitableRead more

Sensors are a modern agricultural technology, developed to help farmers obtain faster and better results, assisting in the determination of various soil characteristics. They can be used to measure in real-time thus controlling the variable rate application. It can also be used on-the-go, generating soil maps in conjunction with a GPS. These vehicle-based sensors are located in theRead more

Farming is a complex activity, one in which every segment impacts the crop production. To have a successful crop production, all segments need to be managed properly.
