A History of Precision Agriculture

, 2015
In colonial America and the new United States, similar practices were adopted as that of ancient peoples with regard to certain crops on certain soils, crop rotation, and the use of manures on worn-out soils. Most of the work in site-specific agriculture conducted since 1920 has concentrated in crop nutrient management.
