1. Precision Weed Management Research Advancement In The Near EastPrecision weed control research received considerable attention since the introduction of global positioning systems (GPS). GPS and geographic information systems (GIS) technologies may assist with field monitoring, particularly; in deciding what weed species to monitor? What weed densities are bypassing critical thresholds? and where? While advancements in precision agricultural research could be detected through the intensive publications in the developed world,...

2. Road Map For Precision Agriculture In The Punjab, North-west IndiaAgricultural experimentation is both expensive and time consuming. It is necessary to reduce site-specific research and capitalize on the agricultural experience gained elsewhere by using soil maps and GIS-GPS (Geographic Information System - Global Positioning System) technology. Since in an agro-eco-subregion, soils in the same family require essentially the same management practices, maximum production results obtained in one soil family can be used as production targets for all soils belo...

3. Precision Agriculture In New Zealand’s Farming SystemsTo date New Zealand farmers do not realize how involved they are in Precision Agriculture (PA). As arable farmers we know how many kilograms of nitrogen (N) it takes to grow a tonne of wheat, how many kilograms of seed we can produce for every millimetre of water that is applied (through irrigation and/or rainfall) and yet we don’t believe we are involved in PA. As dairy farmers we are matching feed requirements to the specific production level of individual cows. We ar... C. Mackenzie, C. Mackenzie |
4. Worldwide Adoption Of Precision Agriculture Technology: The 2010 UpdatePrecision agriculture technology has been on the market for nearly two decades; and the question remains regarding how and to what extent farmers are making the best use of the technology. Yield monitors, GPS-enabled guidance technology, farm-level mapping and GIS software, on-the-go variable rate applications, and other spatial technologies are being used by thousands of farmers worldwide. The USDA Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) and the annual CropLife/Purdue University Preci... T. Griffin, J. Lowenberg-deboer |
5. Extension: Precision Ariculture On The InternetThis session will include an overall description of the new eXtension precision agriculture Web site. eXtension is an interactive learning environment delivering the best, most researched knowledge from land-grant university across America. Session participants will learn about the Website, and how to participate in the continued site development. The precision agriculture eXtension Web site is a virtual platform for engage... J. Nowatzki, T. Brase |
6. Not Possible In Real Life: Precision Agriculture’s Future In 3D Virtual WorldsImmersive 3D virtual worlds may be several years away from mainstream adoption, but thousands of scientists, educators, and visionary thinkers are already using these environments to network with colleagues, conduct research, create engaging simulations, and develop instructional models that can reach global audiences. Virtual reality offers the potential to create dynamic content that is either not possible to build in real life, or prohibitively expensive. Travel costs can be reduced by bri... L. Phillips |
7. Land Information System Of Precision Farming In Mongolia Using Remote Sensing And Geographical Information SystemRemote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) technologies have been of great use to planners in planning for efficient use of natural resources at national, sub region and rural levels. RS can be used for precision farming in a number of ways for providing input supplies and variability management through decision support system. GIS is the principal technology used to integrate spatial data... B. Erdenee, B. Batbayar, R. Tateishi |
8. The Scholarship Of eXtensioneXtension (www.extension.org) is an interactive on-line learning environment delivering "best of the best," researched-based knowledge from the top minds across the land-grant university system. It is a space where university content providers can collaborate to gather and produce new educational and information resources on wide-ranging topics while continually interacting with their customers to help solve real-life problems in real time. The works of ... M. Lambur |
9. Is Precision Agriculture Feasible In Cocoa Production In Ghana? : The Case Of “Cocoa High Technology Programme” In The Eastern Region Of GhanaGhana is the second largest producer of cocoa in the world supplying 25% of the world’s cocoa, thus cocoa production contributes significantly to the economy of ...

10. We Want You: Contributing Your Expertise To A Community Of Practice (COP)eXtension Communities of Practice (CoP’s) are online collaborative networks of subject matter experts. Community of Practice as a method are not new, almost everyone has come across one by now, but you may not have realized what you were looking at was a collaborative effort. CoP’s exist on sites like Consumer Reports, in CNET, and many other places where groups of experts work to create the content that populates a website. Communities are self-... A. Hays |
