Download or read book Geostatistical Applications for Precision Agriculture written by Margaret A. Oliver and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-07-27 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
