Abstract

The efficiency of precision vegetable farming cannot deny in the current of climate change. As compared to west adoption of reliability precision agriculture approaches in developing world is a gradual procedure. The small scale of farms limits economic benefits from currently accessible precision farming technologies. Nevertheless, horticulture interventions like geographical positioning system (GPS), geographical information system (GIS), artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, sensor technologies, etc., are being utilized for precision vegetable farming to improve production and quality of vegetables. This retains excellent promise for developing vegetable crops within the present farming scenario when climate change makes the whole rethink agriculture practices. Overall, this chapter will provide useful information about precision vegetable farming technologies for vegetable growers, enthusiasts, farmers, and researchers.

Highlights

  • The demand for vegetable crops is continuously increasing

  • Precision farming consists of using products and principles to control temporal and spatial variability regarding all factors of gardening generation for bettering crop performance and setting quality [4]

  • The actual benefit of precision vegetable farming is that the farmer can conduct much more regular tillage, adjust sowing rates, fertilizer application based on soil conditions, plan even more crop protection programmes with increased precision, and understand the yield variation area

Summary

Introduction

Sustaining this demand requires the infusion of technologies for efficient utilization of sources for deriving higher result per product of inputs with a superb quality of produce [1] It will be possible only through the deployment of hi-tech applications and precision farming. The actual benefit of precision vegetable farming is that the farmer can conduct much more regular tillage, adjust sowing rates, fertilizer application based on soil conditions, plan even more crop protection programmes with increased precision, and understand the yield variation area. These benefits may improve the real cost-effectiveness of harvest production; the grower should be prepared to make changes in his management types to work [9, 10]. With the present civilian service provided by GPS, the nation is focused on using a second together with a third municipal signal on GPS satellites
