Written by experts who have contributed significantly to the development of precision agriculture technology, this book reviews its history--establishing background on the various processes and applications--describes the current status, and offers insight into the future technology of precision agriculture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroducing processes and applications based on a global scale, the book reveals how precision agriculture can be used in large-scale agriculture, community agriculture, and diversified farming. It includes site-specific information from a variety of information sources for planning, planting, growing, and harvesting agricultural crops. It also presents a new concept based on the control system theory that can be used to formulate systematic methods for more effective precision crop production. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition, this author: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eDescribes yield monitors and guidance systems, GPS-based soil sampling, real-time crop and soil sensors, and remote sensing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvaluates a Japanese model of community-based precision agriculture aimed at high profitability and reliability under regional and environmental constraints\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHighlights autonomous vehicles, field robots, and other intelligent machinery, emerging developments, and future technology in the field of production agriculture\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrecision Agriculture Technology for Crop Farming\u003c\/strong\u003e provides an overview of precision agriculture technology development, discusses current and future considerations, and aims to facilitate the successful integration of precision agriculture technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDr. Qin Zhang\u003c\/strong\u003e is the director of the Center for Precision and Automated Agricultural Systems and a professor of agricultural automation in the Department of Biological Systems Engineering at Washington State University (WSU).
