New book: Precision Agriculture Basics
2nd Edition chapters contributed by AI-LEAF’s David Mulla and Bruce Erickson
Precision agriculture is synonymous with innovation, and thanks to rapid advancements in technology, machine learning and artificial intelligence, and even our own understanding of the crop field, it’s no surprise that our ability to create the most efficient crop systems has quickly evolved, even over just a few years. That’s why, eight years after publishing their first book on precision agriculture, ASA, CSSA, and SSSA are publishing Precision Agriculture Basics, 2nd Edition this October.
This new textbook expands on its predecessor by updating 15 of the first edition’s chapters and adding 17 new chapters that describe advancements in areas such as remote sensing technologies, AI in agriculture, soil health and soil biology, and precision conservation.
