Precision Agriculture involves..

• technology and weather conditions

• information and decision-making

• information and technology

• production and analysis

The following are technology used in Precision Agriculture, EXCEPT:

• Remote Sensing

• Film camera

• Combine harvester

• ArcGIS

Agricultural drones help farmers to..

• predict weather condition in the farm

• monitor livestock and crops

• offer job opportunities

• increase individual profit

The following are the examples of proximal sensing, EXCEPT:

• SPADmeter

• Water level sensor

• pH meter

• aerial imagery

Two processes involved in Remote Sensing are:

• Analysis and Research

• Detection and Analysis

• Analysis and Operation

• Decision-making and Operation

The following are the sensor involved in yield monitoring process, EXCEPT:

• yield monitor

• moisture sensor

• GPS

• mass flow sensor

Automatic Steering System..

• can be used from sowing to harvesting process in the farm

• helps farmers to guide implement on track

• increase work efficiency throughout the field

• able to recognize weeds and crops in the farm

Global Positioning System helps farmers in the following task, EXCEPT:

• yield mapping

• soil sampling

• crop harvesting

• accurate planting

The following process involved in Precision Agriculture cycle, EXCEPT:

• application

• management

• data collection

• interpretation

Based on Chapter 1, you have learned about:

• farm-planning using map-based VRA

• interpolation methods in GIS

• methods to create variability map

• various technology used in Precision Agriculture
