Chapter 1 Quiz 1

What is Precision Agriculture based on?

• Observing, measuring, and responding to field variability in crops

• Randomly applying chemicals to crops

• Ignoring field variability in crops

• Planting crops without any observation

Which technology is used for farm planning, field mapping, and tractor guidance in Precision Agriculture?

• Compass

• Walkie-Talkies

• Satellite Television

• Global Positioning System (GPS)

What is the main benefit of using GPS technology in agriculture?

• Causes confusion in field mapping

• Allows farmers to work during low visibility field conditions

• Increases the cost of farming operations

• Reduces the need for any technology in farming

What is the purpose of soil sampling with GPS technology?

• Increase fuel consumption

• Ignore soil composition

• Create random maps of the field

• Efficiently map out areas lacking nutrition and needing treatment

What is the science of obtaining information about objects or areas from a distance?

• Taste Sensing

• Remote Sensing

• Close Sensing

• Touch Sensing

Which type of sensing provides information about soil temperature and water stress?

• Hyperspectral sensing

• Radar sensing

• Multispectral sensing

• Thermal sensing

What is the purpose of agricultural drones equipped with multispectral imaging sensors?

• Create art installations in the fields

• Monitor crop health using remote sensing technology

• Play music for the crops

• Scare away birds from the fields

What is the main benefit of using autonomous farm machinery in agriculture?

• Reduce crop yields

• Enhance efficiency and productivity on the farm

• Increase manual labor requirements

• Cause confusion in field operations

What is the purpose of Variable Rate Technology (VRT) in Precision Agriculture?

• Avoid applying inputs to the fields

• Enable variable rate application of inputs

• Use the same rate of application for all crops

• Increase environmental impact

What is the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Precision Agriculture?

• Limit the use of technology in agriculture

• Prevent computers from learning and problem solving

• Enable computers and machines to simulate human intelligence

• Ignore data analysis in farming
