The Global Positioning System (GPS) is an information technology tool that has been successfully used for cane field mapping, providing data in the geographical information system (GIS) and assisting in the management of transport. In the Mauritian sugar industry, the GPS is helping in the production of large-scale contour maps, the positioning of centre pivot irrigation systems, and in establishing ground reference points to enable further controlled field surveys with the Total Station. The use of Differential GPS (DGPS) and the integration of other technologies towards a total system for precision agriculture for sugar cane are discussed. | |
