Lesson Two: Uses, Tools and Processes of Precision AgricultureOverview:Students will be introduced to spatial data that is used in making management decisions in agriculture.
Overview:Students will discover why “variability” is the driving factor behind precision agriculture.
This unit was developed under the assumption that most schools would not have access to the sophisticated tools used in precision agriculture. Therefore the activities make use of the web, computer programs that you can download for free, and activities that demonstrate PA techniques without the tools. Teacher's that can gain access to PA technologies from the agricultural community or local colleges are encouraged to expand the activities beyond those suggested. The teaching outline includes Web links for use by teachers and students as additional resources.
Introduction to Precision Agriculture - Lesson for Day 1 - Definition Activity
Precision Agriculture Basics is three lesson plans to give students a basic understanding of Precision Agriculture. It includes:1. Definition of Precision Agriculture2. Uses, Tools and Processes of Precision Agriculture3. Variability in Precision Agriculture
This is a fourth lesson in computing variable rate prescriptions. This lesson utilizes four different fertilizer products for meeting N, P, K and S needs of a corn crop.
