- Title
A NEW MECHATRONIC APPROACH FOR UNDERLIEING DECISIONAL PROCESSES IN PRECISION AGRICULTURE.
- Authors
Pirna, C.; Lache, S.
- Abstract
The concept of precision agriculture implies the elaboration of soil fertility maps which are site-specific to certain soil lots. These maps have to be elaborated with great spatial consideration and with the help of the GPS technology. By means of using this technology, topographical data concerning the fertilizer consumption amount is being acquired, and also data which serve to irrigation optimisation or even real time mitigation of unwanted weather effects. This article is about the conception and development of a system meant to be able to determine the soil nutrient quantity for each culture and the development of statistical predictions for potential productivity of different culture types on a certain soil lot.
