Handbook of Agricultural Technologies
摘要
This handbook focuses on advances in agricultural tools and techniques, which includes, but is not limited to, robotics, drones, laser scarecrows, smart phones, remote sensing, geographic information system, and soil sensors, as well as their applications to make farming smarter and timely steps to reduce crop damage, improve water use efficiency, manage diseases, and enhance productivity. It also provides research and development-based information related to sustainable and modern agricultural techniques like biofertilizers, microbial bio-control agents, aeroponics, vertical farming, genetic engineering, nanotechnology, artificial intelligence, machine learning, bioinformatics, and their potential for conserving resources, managing soil fertility, improving crop productivity, reducing plant diseases, and maintaining food security. Written by leading global experts, the contents provide a holistic view for readers interested in the fields of artificial intelligence, agricultural automation, genetic engineering, robotics, smart farming, nano-biotechnology, among others. This book highlights current agricultural problems and potential solutions based on innovative agricultural technologies to achieve improved agricultural production and environmental sustainability. This reference is essential for professionals, researchers, policymakers, and commercial entrepreneurs concerned with innovative agriculture.
