Abstract
Publisher Summary Precision farming or precision agriculture is an emerging field in agriculture that tries to optimize the in-field variability of biomass production from an economic and ecological perspective. This chapter focuses on biomass parameters. In the application of geomorphometry in the field of precision agriculture, two main approaches are distinguished. The first one delineates practical, agronomically-meaningful management zones that contained distinct plant growth controlling parameters. The second main approach is based on the use of continuous land-surface parameters. The chapter focuses on two case studies, where it presents examples of how land-surface parameters of different complexity have been used in practice. The first example uses a model applied under farm conditions to estimate the biomass development and to predict the amount of nitrogen fertilizer applications in a precision agriculture approach. The second example provides results for post harvest analysis to increase our understanding about crop yield development processes using landform classification.
