AGPR41C
Module 41C: Precision Agriculture - Specialized Technology for Crop Production (Optional)
Outcome
Explore the use of specialized technology in crop production.
Indicators
(a) Assess the advantages, disadvantages and safety requirements when using self-driving vehicles in crop farming operations.
(b) Examine how drones can be used in gathering data and performing tasks (e.g., crop and weed identification and soil tracking) in precision agriculture.
(c) Explore how robotics can be used to automate specific tasks on a farm (e.g., data gathering like soil sampling and crop maturity).
(d) Investigate the use of weather stations to maximize crop yield.
(e) Discuss the use of blockchain as a system to manage crop records that are completely transparent.
(f) Research a specific technology being developed or adapted for crop production in precision agriculture.
(g) Consider the advantages (e.g., increased efficiency) and disadvantages (e.g., start-up costs) of investing in technology to increase revenue in crop production.
