Farmer central approach in data use

Precision agriculture (PA) is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. How do we bring it to the next level beyond ‘simple’ variable rate applications? We have to solve technical and organisational issues. Otherwise, the big promise of smart data use in AgriFood will only…

Farms of the Future

Precision agriculture is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. How can it help to meet the challenges Agriculture faces? In a Dutch Farm of the Future, we combine agro-ecological knowledge with preci­sion agriculture technologies.

More precision in potato production; weed control

Precision agriculture is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. How does this apply to weed control in potatoes?

More precision in potato production; potato haulm killing

Precision agriculture is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. In this series I look at precision agriculture applications in potato crops from a Dutch perspective (see Potato Research paper in references). Let us have a look at variable rate application of potato haulm killing…

More precision in potato production, but how?

Precision agriculture is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. It has the promise to produce more with less and better, giving benefit to potato farmers, potato value chains and society. But adoption is slower than expected. In this series I look at the state…

More or less precision farming?

This question was not literally asked at the ‘Land for Farming’ Precision Farming Conference on 15 December 2016, but it could have been. There were some critical voices. What should I do with all that data about my crops? Are they accurate enough? My advisors don’t know this either. Am I not giving my customers…
