摘要
Precision agriculture, embracing new information and communication technologies, offers the possibility for improving crop production through management of spatial variability leading to profitability and protection of the environment. While studies on precision agriculture for sugar cane were initiated elsewhere, a program was implemented in Mauritius to investigate its applicability and effectiveness in the sugar cane industry. Yield monitoring is a first approach to be followed by soil variability mapping. Preliminary results of spatial yield analyses have demonstrated that there is important within-block and temporal yield variation. Related information technology tools are already in use to promote precision agriculture within a total system.
