Features: This book is intended for science and technology workers engaged in agricultural science and technology research and development, as well as university teachers and students in relevant fields, and science and technology personnel in agricultural, regional planning, and management departments. The book consists of four parts. Part (Chapter) 1 provides an overview of the development of modern agriculture and the background, basic concepts, fundamental theories, and supporting technologies of precision agriculture. The second part (Chapters 2 to 7) details technologies such as GIS, RS, GNSS, networking, rapid automatic analysis and monitoring, and electronic monitoring of fully automated agricultural machinery, along with their applications in precision agriculture. The third part (Chapter 8) covers the integrated technologies of precision agriculture and their applications, including technology integration, practical processes, and case studies of China's first precision agriculture demonstration project—the Beijing Xiaoshan National Precision Agriculture Base. The fourth part (Chapter 9) introduces extended applications of precision agriculture, including precision horticulture, precision animal husbandry, precision agricultural product deep processing, and precision forestry.
