dc.description.abstract |
Over the past several years, an increasing number of large-scale agriculture
corporations have expressed the requirement for logging their farming operations at a low cost.
Hence, in precession agriculture this system as alternative to the field verification to recording and
collecting farming data. The technical and economic feasibility of applying GPS equipped with GIS
technology to the system was ascertained. In farm land record approach the use of GPS in Agriculture
is limited but it is fair to expect wide spread use of GPS in future. One of the primary challenges that
farmers have is the lack of knowledge on what crop to plant, as well as where to plant for guaranteed
maximum yield. However, modern farming has benefited two fold –it is mechanized and uses great
technologies such as the spatial technologies. Evidently, the use of GIS and GPS technologies at
your farm is highly beneficial. With such technologies in place, it not only makes it easy to manage
the farm, but also guarantees high yields and profits. Therefore, this record keeping farm
management system needs to be adoptes these technologies so far, helps in farm management and
the creation of new opportunities that are necessary in increasing your profit margins. The field
mapping of PSB Agricultural Farm at Sriniketan, West Bengal was carried out using handheld GPS
receiver and collecting secondary study area maps and crop practice information. The digitization
and mapping was carried out in Arc View software environment is masking out the crop area from
other landuses. The various cropping pattern was also recorded and a database was developed for
record keeping and making better production decision. |
