- Title
Precision Agriculture: Strategies and Technology Adoption.
- Authors
Rodrigues, Gonçalo C.
- Abstract
The adoption of digital technologies in the agricultural sector has been the focus of research in the last few years, assessing the benefits of using electronic devices, robots, sensors, automation and IoT to improve farming sustainability. The first study [[2]] aimed to investigate the yield of maize hybrids subjected to variable-rate seeding and in differentiated management zones (MZs), based on yield maps from previous years, elevation, and soil apparent electric conductivity (ECa). In terms of investment, both scenarios of using grape-quality zoning resulted in higher profits, despite the higher costs required to implement grape-quality zoning and selective harvesting.
