| Abstract:
Precision agriculture aims to improve farm management efficiency by adjusting field/crop treatments to conditions existing at specific areas within fields hence reducing inputs and maintaining product quantity and quality in an environmentally sensitive and economically sound manner. The applications of precision agriculture technology for high value crops in the tropical controlled environment are wide. This paper described the potential application of precision agriculture technologies for tropical greenhouses using approaches practiced in precision agriculture. The concept of precision agriculture, research and development, and technological issues related to the tropical greenhouse production of high value crops is discussed. | |
