OBS

The Canadian Agriculture Weather Monitoring System... provides a variety of crop growth indices at 140 weather sites across Canada. [It] uses synoptic weather observations from Environment Canada [and it] provides nation-wide reconnaissance level information on crop growing conditions. In combination with verbal and statistical reports from various regions, crop weather reports generated by [the system] give... updates on regional and national production problems.

Record 2 2023-05-31

English

Subject field(s)
  • Cultural Practices (Agriculture)
  • Environmental Management
DEF

Managing crop production inputs (seed, fertilizer, lime, pesticides, etc.) on a site-specific basis to increase profits, reduce waste and maintain environmental quality.

OBS

This concept is not new. What is new is the ability to automate data collection and documentation and the utilisation of this information for strategic farm management decision in the field operations through mechanisation, sensing and communication technology.... The term means different things to different people. To some, PF means using satellite, sensors and field or thematic maps. PF is in fact a comprehensive system designed to optimize agriculture production by carefully tailoring soil and crop management to fit the different conditions found in each field while maintaining environmental quality(Blackmore, et. al, 1994).

OBS

"Precision Agriculture", also known as "precision farming", "prescription farming" and "site specific farming", is founded on the principle of farming fields according to their variability.

Key term(s)
  • site-specific farming
  • site-specific agriculture

French

Domaine(s)
  • Soin des cultures (Agriculture)
  • Gestion environnementale
DEF

Ensemble des pratiques agricoles qui, grâce aux techniques agricoles de pointe, prennent en compte les caractéristiques de chaque parcelle et ajustent ainsi dans l'espace et dans le temps les interventions des machines et les applications d'intrants.

CONT

L'agriculture de précision, par l'association de nouvelles technologies telles que la localisation géographique par satellite et la micro-informatique, offre la perspective de réellement prendre en compte dans les interventions culturales l'hétérogénéité au sein de chaque parcelle.

OBS

agriculture de précision : désignation et définition publiées au Journal officiel de la République française le 27 mai 2021.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Cuidado de los cultivos (Agricultura)
  • Gestión del medio ambiente
DEF

Gestión de parcelas agrícolas, basada en la existencia de variabilidad en campo.

OBS

Requiere el uso de las tecnologías de Sistemas de Posicionamiento Global (GPS), sensores, satélites e imágenes aéreas junto con Sistemas de Información Geográfico (SIG) para estimar, evaluar y entender dichas variaciones. La información recolectada puede ser usada para evaluar con mayor precisión la densidad óptima de siembra, estimar fertilizantes y otras entradas necesarias, y predecir con más exactitud la producción de los cultivos.
