Precision agriculture for the potato industry - Imagery is more than just pretty pictures
PotatoLink team member Frank Mulcahy discusses historical mapping and crop conformance, redictive crop modelling, pioneering Variable Rate Irrigation (VRI) on farm and results from finished 2 year project on spatial variability in potato crops.
Spatial variability in potato cropping to improve yield and production efficiency
Using modern sensor technology high levels of data can now be gathered from crops as they grow. This 2016 report explores how this data can be assessed to gain a greater understanding of productivity in different parts of a paddock. This project is a crucial step towards site specific crop management for the potato industry.
