Development of agriculture

  • 12.000 years of agriculture
  • First revolution (10.000 BC) start of cultivation of crop plants on land
  • Arab (800-1300) and British (1750-1900) agricultural revolutions
  • Third or Green revolution (1930-1960)
  • Fourth revolution
  • Precision agriculture/ farming (first mentioned around 1990)
  • Continuum to smart farming/ digital farming/ pixel farming/

data driven farming/ .......

Precision Agriculture / Smart Farming / Digital farming / Pixal Farming .....

  • A farm management concept based on measuring and responding to

temporal and spatial variability in crops, livestock and the environment

  • Sensing -> decision making -> implementation
  • Operational, tactical, strategical operations
  • Focus on Variable Rate ( operational)
  • Many enabling technologies (IoT) are available:
  • Sensors, computers, DSS, FMIS, GIS, GNSS, satellite data, robotics,

.....

  • Expected benefits (in short): More with Less & Better

Requirements for precision farming

  • Farm management information system
  • GNSS on the farm
  • Data: soil, crop and yield variability maps
  • Access to other data at farm level: soil, climate, pests, ...
  • Decision support
  • Machines prepared for VRA

Where is the PA / DF business case in potato?

  • 2. More

precise crop Management Total: 1900 €/ ha

  • 3. Less labour and

advisory costs

Summary precision ag. applications in potato

  • In potato most crop management activities can be done variable rate at a

scale of 30-50 m 2

  • Savings on input are in order of 25 % compared to common practice
  • Yield increase up to 5%
  • Cost benefit ration becomes interesting when farm size is over 100 ha of

potatoes

National Fieldlab Precision Agriculture (NPPL)

The project will run 4 years (20218 – 2021) The project is initiated by Misset and WUR. Financial resources are mainly from Ministry of Agriculture (LNV). NPPL aims to achieve “more sustainable agriculture” by stimulation of adoption

  • f Precision Agriculture applications.
