Precision Agriculture (PA) is an approach to managing the variability in production agriculture in a more economic and environmentally efficient manner. It has been pioneered as a management tool in the grains industry, and while its development and uptake continues to grow amongst grain farmers worldwide, a broad range of other cropping industries have embraced the concept.
Brett Whelan and James Taylor/strong> both hold a PhD focused on Precision Agriculture (PA). They have published extensively in the field of PA over the past 15 years. Both the authors have taught PA at a tertiary level and have extensive practical experience in PA application in broad-acre, horticulture and viticulture.
