A Whole-farm Investment Analysis of Some Precision Agriculture Technologies
This study used information about a farm in the Victorian Mallee during the period 1998 – 2005 to analyse the profitability of investing in Precision Agriculture and Site-Specific Crop Management technology and farming systems. Two equipment guidance systems were evaluated. Both guidance systems earned more than 8 percent real return p.a. on the extra capital invested. A Real-Time Kinetic (RTK)...
متن کاملA Farm System Approach to Analyze Greenhouse Gas (ghg) Mitigation Strategies for Ruminant Production Systems
Agriculture is a significant emitter of GHGs. Especially ruminant production systems that contribute substantially to global warming due to the enteric fermentation. Ruminant production systems are often integrated in mixed farm systems, including arable production, grassland systems and possibly energy production, which may provide opportunities for mitigation of GHGs when considered as a whol...
متن کاملProductivity , Technical Efficiency , and Farm Size in Paraguayan Agriculture
This essay assesses the relationship between farm size and productivity. Both parametric and nonparametric methods are used to derive efficiency measures. Smaller farms are found to have higher net farm income per hectare, and to be more technically efficient, than larger farms. JEL Classifications: Q12, O12
متن کاملA survey of wireless sensor technologies applied to precision agriculture
This paper gives a state-of-art of wireless sensor network (WSN) technologies and solutions applied to precision agriculture (PA). The paper first considers applications and existing experiences that show how WSN technologies have been introduced in to agricultural applications. Then, a survey in hardware and software solutions is related with special emphasis on technological aspects. Finally,...
