Precision farming-A smarter way of farming with Modern Engineering Technologies

 

  We all know one thing that Precision farming is one of the latest improvement on the farming sector.It enabled us to consider farm field as an Industrial firm where each and every factor that influence the efficiency is monitored and controlled. Same way with the help of Modern Engineering Devices and Equipments,we are monitoring and controlling each and every factor that influence the production and thus efficiency is increased.As Modern technologies develop,new devices are being launched and thus more and more productivity is achieved.

 The benefits of Precision farming is not limited within productivity.It enables us to think in a smarter way and thus we can extend our farming practices to environmental friendly farming.The usages of pesticides and fertilizers can be reduced highly thus environmental pollution can be reduced successfully.We can adopt specially developed farming practices for each crop items separately.thus it enables us to think smartly.

 American farmers are getting five times more productivity compared to common Indian farmers.This is by the utilization of Precision farming technologies.In India,common farmer just relay on Monsoon for watering and not give importance on the resources like water,pesticides,fertilizers he is wasting.These things play crucial  role in the success of the farming,both economically and environmentally.In India the main issue is the fragmentation of farm land.The farm lands are scattered and owned by many persons which makes it very difficult to implement Precision farming techniques.The only solution is to form farm groups or doing corporate farming

 Now things are getting changed.Well educated new generation Indian farmers started to learn latest trends in farming and thus they are implementing  modern farming practices in their land.Such farmers are getting more benefits than other farmers.So it is time for us to change our mind and pay attention on modern technologies...

Precision farming inside Greenhouses

 Implementing Precision farming in its original form inside Greenhouses is not possible as the original concept of Precision farming include usage of satellites and GPS systems and dealing large area. Greenhouses are Man made shelters which is limited to a specified area.Greenhouses are proved to be successful in almost all parts of the world.By implementing some practical concepts which can be introduced inside Greenhouses,we can improve the efficiency of our Greenhouse farm.

 One of the key features of Precision farming is the full control over resources.Wastage of water and fertilizers are nil in precision farming.So by introducing this system in Greenhouses,we can avoid wastage and improve efficiency.This system includes soil analysis,Fertilizer machinery,Drip irrigation systems etc.The Greenhouse system will provide the suitable environment for the plant growth and protection from pests.So the system will provide double protection compared to traditional farming.

 In India,already many farmers implemented this modern farming method successfully.This system allows us to treat the Greenhouses as a production factory and can manage each and every factor inside it. Even though we are familiar with Greenhouses and other technologies to improve production,the combined result of these technologies may vary from farmer to farmer.So it is better to have enough knowledge about them and then start to implement in our farm.Our Agricultural universities and nearest Government agencies can help a lot in this regards.
