Discussion
Precision agriculture is a scientific endeavour to improve the agricultural management by the application of ________ .
Answer: C
Precision agriculture applies information technology and satellite based technology.
Precision agriculture manages variation within a field rather than treating the whole field alike. It uses satellite positioning (GPS), remote sensing, geographic information systems, soil and crop sensors and data analysis to apply water, fertiliser and pesticides at the right place, time and rate.
Better tools, seed drills or extension strategies can all improve farming, but none of them is what defines precision agriculture, which is the site-specific management made possible by information and satellite technology.
