About this book

The aim of this book is to bring together a series of contributions from experts in the field to cover the major aspects of the application of geostatistics in precision agriculture. The focus will not be on theory, although there is a need for some theory to set the methods in their appropriate context. The subject areas identified and the authors selected have applied the methods in a precision agriculture framework. The papers will reflect the wide range of methods available and how they can be applied practically in the context of precision agriculture. This book is likely to have more impact as it becomes increasingly possible to obtain data cheaply and more farmers use onboard digital maps of soil and crops to manage their land. It might also stimulate more software development for geostatistics in PA.

Reviews

From the reviews:

“Aims to illustrate the link between geostatistics and PA … . Experts in the subject area were each asked to write a chapter on a topic. … the editor has done a very good job in harmonizing the chapters and makes sure that they cover a sufficiently broad range of techniques. … written by geostatisticians offering techniques to a PA audience … . Does this book fulfil a need? Yes, I definitely believe so. … value for communities of both geostatisticians and PA practitioners.” (M. Van Meirvenne, European Journal of Soil Science, Vol. 62, August, 2011)
