GIS Applications in Agriculture, Volume Two: Nutrient Management for Energy Efficiency
We are entering a new era of production agronomy. Agronomists around the world are calling for the development of techniques that can both increase carbon storage in the soil and reduce the energy consumption of agriculture. In response, precision or site-specific agriculture has become the main focus of the three driving forces that are transforming today's agriculture: the growing capacity of personal computers, the revolution in molecular biology and recent developments in information, such as geographic information systems (GIS).
Using Mathematics, Technology and Creativity, GIS Applications in Agriculture, Volume Two: Nutrient Management for Energy Efficiency, examines the development of nutrient management practices that help producers improve their profitability and efficiency. their energy efficiency. Throughout the book, chapters show how complex mathematical and spatial modeling approaches can serve as the foundation for most of our current and future management practices.
recent successes and the workings involved in implementing the proposed techniques, the book covers energy efficiency calculations, techniques to overcome yield limiting factors, and the collection and analysis of information on energy efficiency. soil and remote sensing to improve management decisions. It describes the development of an economically optimal equation of the site-specific maize plant population, based on an experiment including many field sites, the estimation of soil productivity and energy efficiency at the site. using online data sources, as well as evaluating and implementing site-specific carbon and water management. systems, analysis of the energy efficiency of compost and manure.
the mathematics that will enable producers to take full advantage of the 21st century technological advances, GIS Applications in Agriculture, Volume 2, is the key to sustainable, efficient and effective food production to feed the ever-growing world population.
