Field surveying times are slashed – an ATV fitted with a GPS receiver can survey 120 acres in two hours, producing a 3D map showing all the ups and downs of even the most undulating field.

Managing weed infestations in a spatially precise manner requires accurate and cost-effective weed identification techniques. The goal of our research was to quantify the accuracy of continuous weed ...

While it took three months or more for information on crop loss to reach the department from farmers today, he said in future GPS-enabled “tablets” would be used to asses crop damage.
