Word of the Day: precision agriculture

Word of the Day Daily updates on the latest technology terms |July 31, 2017

precision agriculture Precision agriculture (PA) is an approach to farm management that uses information technology (IT) to ensure that the crops and soil receive exactly what they need for optimum health and productivity. The goal of PA is to ensure profitability, sustainability and protection of the environment. PA is also known as satellite agriculture, as-needed farming and site-specific crop management (SSCM). Precision agriculture relies upon specialized equipment, software and IT services. The approach includes accessing real-time data about the conditions of the crops, soil and ambient air, along with other relevant information such as hyper-local weather predictions, labor costs and equipment availability. Predictive analytics software uses the data to provide farmers with guidance about crop rotation, optimal planting times, harvesting times and soil management. Sensors in fields measure the moisture content and temperature of the soil and surrounding air. Satellites and robotic drones provide farmers with real-time images of individual plants. Information from those images can be processed and integrated with sensor and other data to yield guidance for immediate and future decisions, such as precisely what fields to water and when or where to plant a particular crop. Agricultural control centers integrate sensor data and imaging input with other data, providing farmers with the ability to identify fields that require treatment and determine the optimum amount of water, fertilizers and pesticides to apply. This helps the farmer avoid wasting resources and prevent run-off, ensuring that the soil has just the right amount of additives for optimum health, while also reducing costs and controlling the farm's environmental impact. In the past, precision agriculture was limited to larger operations which could support the IT infrastructure and other technology resources required to fully implement and benefit from the benefits of precision agriculture. Today, however, mobile apps, smart sensors, drones and cloud computing makes precision agriculture possible for farming cooperatives and even small family farms. Quote of the Day "Precision agriculture can help reduce significant losses in farming, solve problems of data collection and monitoring, and reduce the impacts of climate change." - Saverio Romeo   Trending Terms sustainability agri-tech predictive analytics drone vertical farming IoT   Learning Center Smart farming technologies produce fertile ground for Agnov8 Smart farming technologies are helping solutions providers and their clients improve crop efficiency and ensure water quality. Smart farming, IoT only way to feed growing population, says Beecham report A report from IoT sector analyst Beecham says the agricultural industry will need to embrace smart farming methodologies to support the growing human population. Interview: How John Deere uses connectivity to make farms more efficient After pioneering the use of automated vehicle technology 15 years ago, farm equipment supplier John Deere is now going further, with its sights set on efficiency and sustainability, says sales VP Christoph Wigger. IoT technologies find a home down on the farm Whether on the farm or in an ocean oil field, IoT technology plays a critical role. Here are two use cases that demonstrate the value of the technology. Switch from standard BPM for more efficient agriculture Farmers are ramping up standard BPM with iBPM to conserve resources. Writing for Business In tropical regions, precision agriculture can use remote sensing to explain why soils _______ nutrients quickly when cultivated.

FBI Cyber Division and the rise of ransomware: here's what to know...

FBI Cyber Division and the rise of ransomware: here's what to know...

Sponsored by: Veeam Software

The Institute for Critical Infrastructure Technology (ICIT) has stated that 2017 is expected to be a year in which ransomware attacks wreak havoc on companies. And unfortunately so far they’re correct with “…almost 40% of businesses attacked.” (And remember, not all companies report ransomware attacks as they try to avoid a damaged reputation and/or client, customer loss.) Add to that what former FBI Cyber Division Assistant Director James Trainor states: “There’s no one method or tool that will completely protect you or your organization from a ransomware attack.” But enough with all this gloom and doom. The fact is that there’s a security solution now available for businesses of all sizes to combat malicious attacks and protect data. But rather than give you a simplistic (i.e. annoying) product pitch, download the case study featured on page 2 of today’s Solution Brief and find out how your own organization can rapidly recover from a ransomware attack should such a worst-case scenario occur.
