Precision agriculture: Farming management based on observing (and responding to) intra-field variations. With satellite imagery and advanced sensors, farmers can optimize returns on inputs while preserving resources at ever larger scales.
#Precision farming Gains Global Foothold (Op-Ed) Lloyd Treinish leads the environmental science team in the Industry Solutions Department at the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research center.
A co-developer of IBM's Deep Thunder precision agriculture system he contributed this article to Livescience's Expert Voices:
Fueling better farming is a practice known as precision agriculture which uses extensive data from a farmer's field
Precision agriculture can help farmers from Brunei to Brazil pinpoint the best time for harvesting to mitigate crop damage and loss;
Precision agriculture helps address that problem by improving weather forecasting and modeling and localizing it even within a particular farm.
At IBM we developed a precision agriculture weather-modeling service using Deep Thunder our Big data analytics technology for local customized high-resolution and rapid weather predictions.
Saturas'precision agriculture sensing system comprises of miniature implanted sensors wireless transponders and delivery of information to the farmer's Internet device:
precision agriculture is a welcome tool: We stand for sustainable agriculture, so we try to make the most of technology in each case,
