Dimension of <strong>Precision</strong>…..<br />
Temperate Countries<br />
• GIS and Sub cubic cm soil grid level<br />
• Uniform Nature of Soil (Sensor based)<br />
• Single Crop Cycle system<br />
• Highly mechanized <strong>Farming</strong> system<br />
Tropical Countries<br />
• Prohibitive GIS Cost<br />
• Diverse nature of Soil<br />
• Multi cropping system<br />
• Manual <strong>Farming</strong> system
<strong>Precision</strong> elements in tropical farming system<br />
1. Soil Preparation : Humus level, microbial load, aeration & drainage, fertility restoration<br />
2. Nursery : Physically, physiologically uniform seedlings with intact roots<br />
3. Crop geometry : Single ,double ,triple and tetra rows ( straight and alternate)<br />
4. Fertigation i : Nutrients at critical i stages, subsoil moisture regime<br />
5. Growth management : Regulation of flowering, training the canopy,<br />
6. Plant protection : Monitoring System , IPM and IDM<br />
7. Field Level PHM : Harvest Index, handling, sorting and grading and labeling crates<br />
